Spain has asked the European Union to recognize Basque, Catalan, and Galician as official EU languages.

For those of us who translate to or from any of Spain's co-official minority languages, if this proposal is ever approved, it would mean that the EU's excellent multilingual terminology database IATE would start to include terms in those languages.

In French #Basque country for a bit. Rain and wind? You bet! But when the sun does peek out for a bit, it's quite dramatic.

In Spain’s parliament, you can now speak Basque, Catalan or Galician as minority languages are part of the left’s effort to stay in power.

Francisco Franco’s dictatorship, from 1939 to 1975, forbade official use of any language but Castilian Spanish.

Spain has asked the EU to add the Basque, Galician and Catalan languages to its list of 24 official languages as part of Pedro Sánchez’s efforts to woo smaller regional parties, whose support he needs to secure a fresh mandate as prime minister.

Brussels would need to translate hundreds of thousands of pages of EU law into these languages, adding to the strains on its stretched translation service.

High drama in Spanish federal politics as the major left and right coalitions (PSOE/Sumar and PP/VOX respectively) hold identical seat numbers in Congress. The king makers? The nationalist Catalunya party Junts and Basque party ERC. All eyes, though are on Junts as they have the largest number and could deliver power to either coalition if all its members vote for one of the two candidates for House Speaker.

The nation will hang on the words of Carles Puigdemont, as he is expected to announce, from exile in none other than Waterloo, Belgium, how his party will vote and thus, whether Spain will continue with a progressive PSOE led government with Sanchez continuing as Prime Minister, or have a new, tenuous, rightwing government for as long as it lasts.

I highly recommend using the translator in your web browser to read this article at El Diario. (A leftist news source in Spain). #spain #españa #catalunya #catalan #basque #junts #ERC #23j #elecciones23j

In the late '70s, we had a family member who had property at the far west end of Red Bank Road in #Tehama county. He knew someone who lived on land that was entirely off-grid, there. Everything that wasn't basic mechanical work was fun by propane. He kept our sheep and cattle for us in the winter, and in the spring, he castrated the #sheep in the old-fashioned #Basque way, because he was an old-fashioned Basque man. It was quite a thing to be part of, and my favorite part was wandering around the hills of #Tehama #County on my own, except that I was on #horseback, and you are and never alone with a good #horse, hoping to bring the #cattle down from the #hills.

Incredible, but we have another #German and 2 more #Arabic articles online! 📄📄📄

What about the other languages, e.g. #Basque #Dutch #Catalan #Japanese or #Bahasaindonesia ?

🔍 Do you know anyone that could help us with these?

Europe is facing a shortage of skilled workers. The Basque experience could be the answer.

Although no region is absolutely alike, there are lessons that can be adopted and scaled from the Basque model as EU member states prepare for the next wave of economic uncertainty and consequent clamour for talent.

P.S.: I cannot think of two things more related than food and sex. Some examples: Fast food, fast sex. Good food, good sex. Exquisite food, exquisite sex, a.s.o.

I don’t normally do politics on Mastodon, but the Tories painting over the Mickey Mouse mural because it was “too welcoming” to refugee children was one of the most sinister and soulless things I’ve ever seen. It reminded me of my research into the Spanish Civil War. A thread 🧵

The unsolved mystery of Europe’s oldest language.

For linguists, the uniqueness of the Basque language represents an unsolved mystery. For its native speakers, long oppressed, it is a source of pride.

The Basque language, Euskara, is what's known as a linguistic isolate — it's fundamentally different to all other languages. Many researchers have developed theories on its evolution, but these have mostly been debunked. Here's a look at this unsolved mystery, why there have been attempts to destroy Euskara, and the current renaissance in Basque literature.

🥥 I'm thinking of starting a labor collective along the lines of the #Basque #Mondragon in Spain.
We'd make tumbrils and pitchforks to get started and take it from there.
Any interest in the #Fediverse? 🥥
