Notas lingüísticas sobre vasquismos presentes en las regiones limítrofes del País Vasco

Abstract

129

The knowledge of Castilian manifested in the notarial documents of the Northern zone of the 14th to 16th centuries allows us to pose some questions about the location of the Basque Country and to identify possible affinities in the context of varieties or dialects of Northwestern Spain, especially with regard to the presence of Basque element. We conclude that the scriptural tradition of the Basque Country is purely Spanish descent, which implies that the observed deviations from the standard have a linguistic basis and reflect the native uses of the clerks, in which without a doubt underlies the presence and knowledge of a common language, the Basque language.
