Buenos Aires, Argentina. Euskera was one of the first European languages to reach America, in the North of the continent, and “it stuck” among the languages that are spoken there, to the point of the creation of a pidgin with some Native American languages.  Since then, much time has passed, but today Euskera is still present in America with growing interest in learning it, and its use with classes at Basque clubs and university and supported by language policy programs by the Basque Government.

Previously, thanks to HABE and today coordinated through the Etxepare Basque Institute, the Euskara Munduan Program aims to train teachers above all for Basque clubs who have been unable to respond to the demand since they didn’t have their own local teachers.

The arrival of Euskera at many universities also needs to be added to this, as part of the Basque culture and language lectureships also sponsored by the Etxepare Institute.  Spaces are destined to the study of our language and culture in an academic context.

Here there is a list of Basque clubs and universities in South America that teach Euskera in 2020.  As on other occasions, this is not a definitive list, but those included have confirmed their dates and levels.  If your club doesn’t appear, please provide us the information in the comment box below.
