| | Basque Country (Spain) |
 | | In 1936 the Basque Autonomous Government (whose Lehendakari —president— was José Antonio Agirre) was created, with representation of all the democratic parties, and the Ikurriña was declared by law the Basque flag. | | | The three Basque territories within Spain (Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa and Álava) constitute the Basque Autonomous Community. | | | As far as I know the shield is added frequently for ceremonial purposes (basically important governmental events) but no law about this has been made. |

| | The language has official status in those territories which are within the Basque Autonomous Community, but only partially in Nafarroa, which is divided by the law in three distinct language areas (this law is strongly rejected by the Basque-speaking people of Nafarroa). | | | Spanish rules and the Basque-speaking have great difficulties to deal with their administration in their own language, despite the law that grants that right. | | | The three provinces within the French State (red on the map) are not autonomous. |

| | The Basque nationalist leader, José Antonio de Aguirre, was elected president of the autonomous government, but a large part of its territory was soon in insurgent hands. | | | Shortly after the outbreak of civil war in 1936 the Spanish government granted the three provinces autonomy. | | | Batasuna, the political party associated with the ETA, was suspended in 2002 and banned in 2003; previous parties associated with the ETA had been subjected to similar bannings. |

| | Today Basque schools are in the process of becoming part of the Basque state school, but in the French Basque Country, and some parts of Navarre, Basque schools are the only ones which provide teaching in Basque. | | | Nevertheless, this did not hinder the proclamation of the decree on 16th November 1839, under which the Basque judiciaries and legislature were withdrawn, meaning de facto that for the first time during the course of history from 1200 onwards, Basque juridical and constitutional unity was established. | | | Under the anti-terrorist law, legal Basque political and social organisations are being accused of being “terrorist” by the Spanish authorities and banned, including the pro-independence Basque parliamentary opposition party Batasuna and more than 240 Basque organisations. |

| | FAQs About Basque and the Basques |
| | Throughout the Middle Ages, the Basque provinces, north and south, were largely self-governing, and they had a vigorous tradition of local democracy. | | | Why has there been all this trouble in the Basque Country? | | | In 1979 the three Spanish Basque Provinces of Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa, and Alava were united under the Basque Autonomous Government, and Basque is co-official with Spanish within this territory: it is used for government documents and publications, and knowledge of it is required for certain jobs. |

| | But the fact is that in the Basque Country our rights are not respected, our ancestors did not know the justice, and, if the spanish and french states continue oppressing the Basque nation, maybe our children will not know justice at all. | | | While this happens, the spanish parties PP and PSOE have signed a new law that gives them the impunity to stop out of the law to the leftist independentist Basque party, Batasuna. | | | This movement has worked, and works, hard for the respect of the human rights of the basque political prisoners. |

| | Basque language, alphabet and pronunciation |
| | In 1964 the Royal Basque Language Academy (Euskaltzaindia) promulgated a new standard orthography; this met some resistance at first but is now almost universally used. | | | During the early years of the 20th century, a bizarre and impractical orthography employing a blizzard of pointless diacritics was widely used; this largely disappeared after the Spanish Civil War. | | | For centuries there was no standard orthography, and Basque was written with Romance spelling conventions supplemented by various additional devices to represent sounds not present in Romance languages. |

| | After dinner at one of the city's great restaurants (only San Sebastián up the coast has a better culinary reputation), you can put ethnographic studies behind you and wander around the city drinking at the 26 txosnas—booths that serve beer and cocktails until 5 a.m.—sampling the free concerts. | | | The Basque Country smells like Spain—a mixture of wine, sweat, eau de cologne, olive oil, and "black" tobacco. | | | In 1609, Frenchman Pierre de Lanure reported to his superiors in Bordeaux that the Basques were "light and quick in body and spirit, liking late evenings and dancing." In the four hundred years since, they've certainly not lost their taste for staying up. |
