Why has the Basque language continued as a distinct language

Answer 1

The Basque language has continued as a distinct language because of its unique origin and the strong sense of identity among the Basque people. The Basque language is not related to any other language in the world, and it has been spoken in the Basque region for thousands of years. The Basque people have a strong sense of cultural identity and have worked hard to preserve their language and culture. This has helped the Basque language to remain distinct and to continue to be spoken by the Basque people.
