Salazarese dialect

Salazarese (locally Zaraitzuko uskara) is the Basque dialect of the Salazar Valley of Navarre, Spain.

Basque was spoken in the Salazar valley until the first half of the 20th century; ever since, the number of speakers started a dramatic decline.

At the time of the 2002 linguistic census,[citation needed] there were only two native speakers, both with ages over 85, and within a few years Salazarese became extinct.

[7] Aitor Arana has collected the testimonies of Basque-speakers of Zaraitzu, published a dictionary of the dialect in 2001,[15] and next year a book of grammar.
