Basque grammar

This article provides a sketch of Basque grammar. Basque is the language of the Basque people of the Basque Country or Euskal Herria, which borders the Bay of Biscay in Western Europe.

The Basque noun phrase is structured quite differently from those in most Indo-European languages.

Determiners and quantifiers play a central role in Basque noun phrase structure. Articles are best treated as a subset of the determiners.

The articles -a, -ak, -ok, -(r)ik, demonstratives hau, hori, hura and some of the quantifiers follow the noun they determine or quantify.
