Hello Language Lovers! Thank you for joining me for this episode of Speaking Tongues, the podcast in conversation with multi linguals. This week, we’re talking with Eukene about her language of Basque. Eukene is a Ph.D. candidate in Linguistic Studies at the University of Miami. She is an advocate of minority languages and cultures. Her work focuses on the language variation in young Basque speakers and ethnolinguistic identities and attitudes towards Basque, both in the Basque Country and the Basque diaspora of Idaho.
In this episode we discuss:
🌟 The perceptions of Basque being a “difficult” language and why that’s not true
🌟 Efforts that have been made over decades to ensure that children are learning the language
🌟 Trauma that exists within minoritized languages
🌟 The standard variety of Basque and the local languages spoken in Pais Vasco
🌟 Conducting research among the Basque community in Idaho
