This book is the continuation or second part of monographic issue 174 (2005) of the IJSL devoted to Euskara (the Basque language) aimed at taking stock of the current social situation of the language. The aim coincides with that of the chapter on Euskara (Azurmendi, Bachoc and Zabaleta, 2001) included in the publication Can threatened languages be saved? edited by Fishman (2001); at that time the perspective was one which depended more on the RLS (Reversing Language Shift) theoretical-empirical model propounded by Fishman (1991), but the perspective now is a freer one. We are deeply grateful to Joshua A. Fishman for providing us with this new opportunity through this prestigious journal, which he directs and edits, to show the recent evolution and current situation of Euskara to the fields of the sociology of language, of languages and of sociolinguistics in general; we have taken advantage of this invitation Fishman has extended to us to provide a broader overview of the situation of Euskara than that which can be included in a monographic issue of the IJSL, so that this book can be regarded as the complementary continuation of the said monographic issue
