The first part of the article gives data about the knowledge and the use of Basque, as well as about their change over the past thirty years. The second part presents possible reasons for the ever higher use of Basque, especially focusing on the standardization and education in Basque. Additionally, certain areas are mentioned where the use of Basque has not advanced as much, and the article mentions some of the challenges Basque is facing. The article ends by condensing all of the data and giving the current sociolinguistic situation of Basque.
