1. basque

   Basque refers to a few different interconnected aspects related to a specific region in Europe: 1. Ethnic Group: It relates to the ethnic group native to the Basque Country, an area that spans parts of northeastern Spain and southwestern France. 2. Language: It also refers to the language spoken by this group, Euskara, one of the oldest in Europe and unrelated to any other known language. 3. Culture: The term also relates to the unique culture, traditions, and history of the Basque people. 4. Region: The Basque Country, also known as Euskadi or Pais Vasco, is an autonomous community in northern Spain with strong cultural traditions, a celebrated cuisine and a distinct language. So, "Basque" can be used as an adjective to describe anything related to this ethnic group, their language, culture or the region they inhabit.
