pelota vasca

A ball game, also known as jai alai, that developed in the Basque Country. It is played in Spain, Mexico, Cuba and Florida.
The game has similarities to squash and fives. It is played in a frontón, a court with three high walls. The players use a cesta, a long, concave basket attached to their hand with a strap, to throw and catch the ball against the wall. The ball reaches high speeds and spectators watch from behind a metal fence. Pelota is played by two teams of two players. It is a professional game on which spectators place bets.

The language of the Basque Country and Navarre, spoken by around 750, 000 people; in Spanish vasco or vascuence. It is also spelled euskara. Basque is unrelated to the Indo-European languages and its origins are unclear.
Like Spain's other regional languages, Basque was banned under Franco. With the return of democracy, it became an official language alongside Spanish, in the regions where it is spoken. It is a compulsory school subject and is required for many official and administrative posts in the Basque Country. There is Basque language television and radio and a considerable number of books are published in Basque. See also lenguas cooficiales
