Proto-Basque language
Proto-Basque (Basque: aitzineuskara; Spanish: protoeuskera, protovasco; French: proto-basque), or Pre-Basque, is the reconstructed predecessor of the Basque language before the Roman conquests in the Western Pyrenees. A small sample of what is thought to be a form of Proto-Basque has been discovered on the Hand of Irulegi, an inscribed bronze artifact in the shape of a right hand dated to the 1st century BCE.
