Boise, Idaho hosts a sizable Basque population and features a couple of nice restaurants that feature their cuisine. Basque have traditionally been sheep-herders and some still work in herding professions.

Basque sports are a huge part of the culture, especially the traditional sport of pelota. There are many variations of this court-based ball game that has been played for centuries.

The Basque language, Euskara, is a language isolate - it is not related to any other known language. It is considered one of Europe’s oldest languages.

The Basque language, also known as Euskara, is a language isolate and the last remaining language descended from pre-Indo-European roots after all the others were displaced during the Bronze Age. Though it borrows a lot of vocabulary from other languages now, its roots predate both Romance and Celtic languages.

Is it known that it predates Celtic? I thought people didn’t know much about the history of the language since nothing was written, just roughly where and when because of archaeology.
