Most of you probably know (badakizue) that in the American West the Anglos
call us "Basco" or or simply Basque. It refers to ethnicity
(arraza) more than to language, I think.
But most Americans would assume that a Basco knows the language as well.
It would be interesting to take a poll and see what they really think
about it. Zer uste dute?
