What is all the fuss with The Hand of Irulegi?

Irulegiko eskua is an archeological find from the 1st century BC. e It is a bronze hand-shaped plank with what seems to be a Basque text, since the first word can be read from current Basque. It was found in the excavations of the valley of Aranguren, next to the remainings of the old castle of Irulegi. It is located to the south of Iruñea, Navarre's capital, where currently Basque is not completly official.It dates back to the Iron Age. There had been previous findings, but there were words or names. This is written in northeastern Iberic, not Latin alphabet, which means that Basques might have had a writting system. However, it is object of debate. It was known that Basques acquired the writing system from the Romans, since many Aquitanian names were found with Latin declinations across the Basque nation. However, this finding, as well as coins where Iberian alphabet, was also used demonstrate that Basque people may not have been illiterate before the Romans. SORIONEKU '

Meme: outsider in the communities

Happy Meme Wednesday 🔪 ⏩️Swipe for Basque & Catalan ⏩️ After the last reflection I posted, I thought for a while about the social difficulties of people who speak a minority language and do not fit anywhere. Some may feel as strangers in their own speaker community, due to lack of acceptance or authenticity, or because they do not share the same vision of the future of the language and territory. 👽🔮 Others may feel like outsiders among their friends or family, because they do not care about their language as much as they do, or because they see them affected by the national ideologies that aim for a monolingual country.🏫🗺 And some may feel weird in both circles, inbetween worlds... Independently or where you fit, this goes for you all, with much love ✨️🫂 We resist ✊️ #meme #minoritylanguages #minorizedlanguages #resistance #monolingual #bilingual #outsider #languageideology #nationalpolicies
