The comparisons of Bilbao have set quotas for music in Basque in the txosnas, after noting that it is only 27%
The comparisons have launched a campaign to strengthen the use of the Basque language during the holidays, and in addition to increasing the proportion of music in Basque in the txosnas, they have made other changes to increase its use.
The comparisonsof Bilbao have carried out an in-depth analysis to measure the presence of the Euskerain their activity and to agree on actions to improve it, so that, seeing that only 27% of the music heard in the txosnas of Aste Nagusia is in Euskera, and in order to increase that percentage,they have agreed onquotas .
Each comparison has established its own quota of songs in Basque, based on its current situation, with targets ranging from 33% to 100% .
This and other measures are included in the campaign to strengthen the use of the languageat parties on Monday. Theinitiative called "Aste Nagusia euskara nagusi" has been presented at a press conferenceby Bilboko Konpartsak and the GUKA association, which have explained that they aim to turn the festive space into a "free space" for those who want to speak Euskera.
After acknowledging that the analysis of music has yielded a "poor" result, the comparisons explain that thestudy has yielded better results in other areas : 84% of external communication is in Basque, for example 81%of the linguistic landscape is in that language; and 54%of programming is in Basque, with only 16% in Spanish.
In pre-festival assemblies, organizers have explained that 9 out of 20 people speak Basque, but 15 out of 20 know how to speak Basque.
Among those who serve in the txosnas on a rotating basis, 75% speak Basque and 90% actually speak Basque. Thus, thebasic vocabulary will be worked on, and there is a commitment that the first word will always be in that language.
The comparisons have also undertaken to carry out some of the activities carried out in Spanish in Basque and to replace some of the signs and communications previously bilingual with messages in Basque only.
According to the promoters, guaranteeing the Basque language during the holidays is particularly importantfor those who are learning the language, for newcomers and for those who do not have a leisure space in Basque around them.
The promoters of the campaign havealso criticized the Bilbao City Council for the presence of the Basque language in workshops, shows and courses for adults, which is not enough, and call on bars, restaurants and other private entities to join the initiative.
This yearthe champion will be the bertsolari Onintza Enbeita and thecomparator Ainhoa Urrejola to the txupinera.
