text: The 1978 legislative elections are sometimes seen as the first time that Basque nationalism was connected with the so-called ethnic vote, as the Basque-speaking zones of the inland attained higher scores than French-speaking areas (Vrignon 1999: 224). Indeed, roughly speaking, 6 per cent of votes in the francophone urban area of Bayonne–Anglet–Biarritz were cast in support of the nationalist parties during the cantonal elections of 1998–2001, as opposed to almost 15 percent in the Euskera-speaking interior (Table 5.1). A closer look on Table 5.1, however, puts this image into perspective because in the interior the highest nationalist votes were cast not in the most bascophone areas, but in the interior of Labourd.

text: The law divides the community into three specific areas: the bascophone, or Basque speaking, zone, the mixed zone and the non-bascophone, or non-Basque speaking, zone (see Figure 1). […] The Basque language is recognised as an official language only in the so-called ‘bascophone’ zone, where 10.8% of the total population lives. […] In public life, the law recognises that the inhabitants of the bascophone zone have the right to use the Basque language in their dealings with the administration.
