Late Basquisation is a much debated hypothesis which places the arrival of the first Basque-speakers in north-eastern Iberia from Aquitaine in 5th or 6th century CE. ==Main theories== The Basque language is a language isolate that has survived the arrival of Indo-European languages in western Europe. There are two main hypotheses concerning the historical geographical spread of the Basque or proto-Basque language: * Basque or proto-Basque occupied since prehistory its historically attested boundaries (Southern Basque Country and Northern Basque Country), and some neighbouring areas (Bearn, Aragon valley, Rioja, eastern fringes of Castile), plus perhaps other former territories around the Pyrenees all over Gascony and sub-Pyrenean regions to the south. * At the end of the Roman Republic and during the first hundreds of years of the Empire, migration of Basque-speakers from Aquitaine overlapped with an autochthonous population whose most ancient substrate would be Indo-European.〔Francisco Villar, Blanca M. Prósper (2005), Vascos, Celtas e Indoeuropeos. Genes y lenguas. Salamanca: Universidad de Salamanca〕 The migration is alleged to have increased, with peaks in the 6th and 7th centuries.〔Villar, Prosper, Ibid, p.513〕 In his 2008 book ''Historia de las Lenguas de Europa'' (History of the Languages of Europe), the Spanish philologist and hellenist Francisco Rodríguez Adrados has updated the debate by arguing that the Basque language is older in Aquitaine than in the Spanish Basque country, and it now inhabits its current territory because of pressure of the Celtic invasions.〔(''El vasco es mas antiguo em Aquitania que en el pais vasco'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Late Basquisation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
