Euskal Herria

Euskal Herria is the Basque name for the Basque Country—the region spanning northeastern Spain and southwestern France where Basque people live and the Basque language has historically been spoken.

The term encompasses all seven traditional Basque provinces regardless of current political boundaries: Euskal Herria includes territories in both Spain and France.

It carries cultural and political weight, often preferred by those emphasizing Basque identity and unity over the Spanish or French administrative divisions.
