Some of The Basque people have been accused of many things: Traitors, Atlantians, Rebels, Militia,
but one thing that they will always be, is different from the common-threaded European bloodlines.
The original name (and
is still used in the native tongue) of the Basques, is 'Euskera'. The Basque language is found to not related be to any
other language ever seen or recorded. Although, there are some modern words that are adapted to English, Spanish, French,
and East Indian that in fact, are Basque in origin. It even crosses over in the modern day foods and expressions. In the region's
schools, the language that is now being taught is the "Unified Modern Basque Language". Since, like many languages, regionally,
it originally had several dialects spoken. The language is called Euskadi (sometimes Euskari), and a Basque person is known
as a Euskaldun. There is a separate empowered and appointed presiding power. There is a Basque national flag having a
history that has a heavy importance of pride and honor in its development. Basques have fought for their land, their
culture, and their pride. The traditions are alive and flourishing in the descendants today.
Donostia/San Sebastian could be considered one of the most scenic places in the world.

Another factor in the home life of a Basque family, is the
perpetuation of the belief system. In a Basque home, it is the home itself that brings forth the strongest religious symbol.
You would have never seen a traditional Basque person journey to a church or place where their family does not reside. The
sanctuary of the heart truly was the home, and therefore, it was commonplace from a Basque family to live in the same home
for hundreds of years. In some regions of today's Basque Country, the Jewish faith has reclaimed many of its past agnostic
nationals, due to its Spanish influences to the south. This would have never have been tolerated in the early days of a rebelling
Basque nationalist. Christianity is also common in today's modern land.
