Basque is spoken in the Basque Country which is a region straddling the westernmost Pyrenees in adjacent parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. Basque is classified as a language isolate (unrelated to any other known languages) - the only one in Europe.
In Basque, the language is called "Euskara" (which is why the ISO 639-1 code
for it is eu).
Here is a sample of Basque vocabulary, with the stemmed forms that will be generated by this algorithm:
