9781333904111: Outlines of Basque Grammar

Synopsis

This book presents a concise overview of the Basque language, spoken in the Basque Country of northern Spain and southwestern France. It is the sole survivor of the Aquitanian languages once spoken throughout southwestern Europe and is unrelated to the Indo-European languages that surround it. Basque thus represents a unique linguistic tradition and serves as a valuable source of information about pre-Indo-European Europe. The author covers all aspects of Basque grammar, from its unique system of verbal agreement to the use of suffixes to indicate grammatical relations. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction to this fascinating language for students and general readers alike.
