2637 BCE to 910 BCE

The Basques, an ethnically distinct group inhabiting the western Pyrenees, predate the arrival of the Iberians in the region.

Their pre-Indo-European language, Euskara, is a linguistic isolate, with no known links to any other language. Attempts to connect it to pre-Latin Iberian remain unconvincing.

The Romans refer to them as Vascones, a name that later evolves into Basque.
