Re: Bla bla bla Post by nooj Β» Mon Jan 23, am One of the more cynical things that I saw from an official authority of France last year. Aside from the cheek of claiming that France 'supports the Basque language' - like the cord supports the hanging victim? Not even a customary 'hello' or 'goodbye' in Basque. Tweeting 'happy Basque Language Day' and doing so in French is like making a poster that says 'happy vegetarianism day' but spelling the letters out with sausages and ham. Here's a manifesto from , that kicked off the idea of an international Day of the Basque language in the first place.
Signed from Paris from Basque intellectuals: In the first paragraph, they give a diagnostic of Basque in the North Basque Country: The Basque language is grieviously sick, if not on the verge of death. Every day it is going backwards. From the North to the South, throughout the seven Basque provinces, it is in dire straits. In Donapaleu, they are not any better, and in Donibane Lohizune, it's been a long time since we've heard any children speaking in Basque.
It will not be long before we won't hear any Basque there at all. Gazteriak ere badauka oraino hein bat eskuara. Frantses hortan trebe dela erakutsiz geroz, nahiago du eskuaraz mintzatu gutartean hogoi, hogoita hamar urtetako gizon gazteak.
Handik beheitikoak lerrakorrago dire frantses hortarat. Bainan haurrak? Haurrak asko tokitan osoki frantseserat eroriak dire. Ala frantses polita derabilate mihietan! Zer nahuzue ordean, uste badute jaunago direla eskualduntasuna utzirik franximan bilakatuz? Galtzen dugu eskuara, edo galtzerat uzten guhaurek eskualdunek.
