Basque language: It is a great pity that the Basque language is being lost. She is the last speaker in her family. A grandaughter says that she is going to learn, but that Basque is different. The Basque from Salazar is rough and ready and that is why she does not want to speak it. On the other hand, the Basque from San Sebastian is very clear.

grammar: More than once she has been interviewed by researchers who would ask questions about the lexical items. A list of words in the Salazar dialect.

Basque language: At that period of the war, the boys and girls always spoke in Basque to one another, but most of them are dead now. The Basque language has been lost because the young people did not want to speak it. Her son used to speak Basque but no longer does so. She herself does not speak it because she never goes outside the house.

Nowadays the women no longer go to work at the potato. She has never attended a mass in Basque because the priests were never Basque speakers.

They have never had any problems with them. Her parents always spoke in Basque. Name and age of the speaker.
