Elosu, Nafarrate eta Urrunagako euskaraz

Abstract

The linguistic material collected from Elosu, Nafarrate and Urrunaga, all three of which belong to the province of Alava’s Legutiano municipality, is offered in this article. The material presented was gathered between 1980 and 1998. Its interest resides in its being nigh-on unique, given the fact that the linguistic situation in the area makes finding any kind of spoken testimony a difficult job. It is for this reason that we believe that this material might help to enhance knowledge regarding these varieties. The study is divided into four sections: sounds are dealt with in the first of these; the second section centres on declination; the third part offers the verb forms found and represents the most complete chapter of the four; lastly, a lexical section is given.
