Sakanerak

Abstract

On this occasion, the characteristics of non-standardized Euskera have been collected from the whole Sakana Valley (from Ziordi to Irurtzun), with there being differences in two general areas: the Burunda Valley in the western area, and la Barranca together with the Araquil Valley in the central and eastern areas. And in order for the analysis of idiomatic characteristics to be as complete as possible, these have also been collected from the bordering villages of both areas. In this way, some characteristics from Bakaiku have been collected, as its speech forms a bridge between the Burunda Valley to which it belongs and la Barranca, as well as from above all Irañeta and, to a lesser extent, from Urritzola. The first of these villages, Irañeta, represents the last vestiges of Euskara still alive to the east of la Barranca. The second, Urritzola, on the other hand, has left us one of the last testimonies of Euskara from the Araquil Valley.
