The purpose of this paper is double. First, it offers the possibility to know two catechisms by Astete written in the Basque dialect of Ulzama. One of these catechisms was ordered by L. L. Bonaparte; the other one, published in 1906, is still commonly used in the valley. On the other hand, we intend to analise and compare the phonetic-phonological, morphological, and lexical characteristics found in the two documents, in order to capture the dialectological features of the area. Through comparison of the Basque nowadays spoken in Ulzama and the language used in the doctrines, we discuss which of them should be considered more reliable.
