About This Tool

Spanish was developed from Vulgar Latin, and is influenced by both Basque and Arabic. The typical features of Spanish pronunciation are the weakening of consonants and palatalization. The same phenomenon can be found in most Romance languages. In the Basque Country, the official languages are Spanish and Basque, which is why this random tool has 85 Basque words in Spanish.

Because the common languages of the two countries are very similar, it is easy to repeat and cross over in pronunciation, words and sentences. With this generator, for example, we can see that words like sandal, Abertzale, Aizcolari and so on are all Basque Spanish words, and their English translations are organized in the generator. Those who are interested in these two languages can also look further.

Click the "Display All Items" button and you will get a list of Spanish words of Basque origin.
