Sung, extempore verse-making in Basque (hereafter referred to as bertsolaritza, as it is known in the Basque language) holds an important place in the culture of the Basque language, a speech community of about 600,000 people. This community is divided among four territories inside the Spanish state and three inside the French state; the population in these territories put together is around three million.
