The catechim we oublish is written in the Basque variety of Huarte-Araquil. This catechim was ordered by L. L. Bonaparte, giving an accurate description of the dialect used in this village (unfortunately it cannot be said the same ofthe other catechims ordered by Bonaparte in Barranca).
Therefore it has been regarded to analyse the phonetical, morphological, sintactical and lexical characteristics, as well as making a comparition between the catechim and the language nowadays spoken in Huarte-Araquil, taking reference ofthese characteristics in other places of Barranca.
