Euskararen biziberritze prozesua, beste hizkuntza askoren kasuan bezalatsu, luzea eta gora-behera handikoa izan eta izango da. Hamaika egitasmo eta beste horrenbeste eragile dabiltza buru-belarri geure hizkuntzak indartsu aurrera jarrai dezan. Jakina, ez gara bakarrak kinka honetan gaudenak eta mundu zabalean milaka pertsona daude haien edo beste batzuen hizkuntza gutxituen alde. Edonola ere, egoera berean daudenen elkarlana bereziki garrantzitsua da hizkuntzak biziberritu nahi badira, eta komenigarria da norberak egiten duena kanpoko norbaitek ebaluatzea. Kanpokoek gutaz esaten eta pentsatzen dutena, halaber, interesgarria da beste arrazoi batzuengatik, adibidez, atzerrian proiektatzen dugun irudia zein den jakiteko. Bada, Londreseko SOAS unibertsitatean hizkuntza gutxituekin lanean dabilen HRELP izeneko egitasmo indartsua dago, eta hango partaideei euskararen eta haren biziberritze prozesuaren inguruan egindako galderekin osatu da artikulu hauxe.
The process to revitalise Basque, just as in the case of many other languages, has been and will continue to be long and full of ups and downs. Many projects and as many players are busily involved so that our language can progress from strength to strength. Naturally, we are not the only ones in this predicament and there are thousands of people across the world working in support of their own or other minority languages. In any case, the cooperation of those who are in the same situation is tremendously important if one wants to revitalise languages, and it is advisable to have what one is doing externally evaluated. What people outside say and think about us is interesting for other reasons, for example, to find out what image we are projecting abroad. So there is a powerful project by the name of HRELP working with minority languages at SOAS, University of London, and this article covers the questions presented to its members about Basque and its revitalisation process.
