Euskura has no known historical documents
There are no written records of Euskura, the Basque language, known before the Middle Ages, even though it had been spoken for at least a thousand years by that time.
Some scholars say its origins can be traced to a language spoken on the Iberian peninsula before the Roman occupation, while others maintain that it bears a familial resemblance to certain Caucasian languages; such as, Georgian.
It is said that there are any where from half a million to one million Euskura-speakers in Spain and France. About 900,000 are estimated to be in Spain.
Bilbao, the capital of Vizcaya, is the major city of the Basque region. Most Basques are bilingual or trilingual, speaking Spanish or French (or both) in adddition to Euskara. It is the "only non-Indo-European language of Western Europe".

Bulgarian, a Basic Slavic Language
Bulgarian is spoken by about eight million people, or 90% of the Bulgarian population. It made an important contribution in the historical development of the Slavic language when a dialect of Bulgarian was used as the basis for evolving the first alphabet when it was devised in the ninth century A.D.
Old Bulgarian, or Old Church Slavonic as it was later called, functioned as the literary vehicle of all the Slavic languages and it was one of the three major literary languages of Europe during the Middle Ages.
Now, the modern Bulgarian alphabet is almost completely the same one as used in the Russian script.
