    The Basque language, also known as Euskara, is a language isolate and the last remaining language descended from pre-Indo-European roots after all the others were displaced during the Bronze Age. Though it borrows a lot of vocabulary from other languages now, its roots predate both Romance and Celtic languages.

      Is it known that it predates Celtic? I thought people didn’t know much about the history of the language since nothing was written, just roughly where and when because of archaeology.
