The Basque language is a pre-Indo-European language of prehistoric origin that has no connection to any other in the world. Its Basque denomination is Euskara, as well as its colloquial versions: Euskera, Eskuera and Üskera. Castilian acquired the first colloquial version to denominate the language and it is the most used in the daily speech. Euskara is also known by the traditional term 'Vascuence' which comes from the Latin term 'vasconice', although it is used to a lesser extent. A Latin expression denominates the language as well: Lingua Navarrorum (the language of the Navarreses).
