 Gascon language: Information from Answers.com (via CobWeb/3.1 kupl2.ittc.ku.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The Gascon language (Gascon, [gasˈku]; French, [gaskɔ̃]) is an Occitan dialect mostly spoken in Gascony (in the French départements of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées, Landes, Gers, Gironde, a part of Lot-et-Garonne, a part of Haute-Garonne, and a part of Ariège), and in the small Spanish valley Val d'Aran, in the Northwest of Catalonia.
Some consider it a separate language from Occitan, due to the significant differences it presents from the other Occitan varieties; however, since Gascon is spoken within France along with the other Occitan dialects, it is consigned to the Occitan sphere.
The language spoken in Gascony before Roman rule was part of the Basque dialectal continuum (see Aquitanian language); the fact that the word 'Gascon' comes from the Latin root vasco/vasconem, which is the same root that gives us 'Basque,' implies that the speakers themselves may have identified themselves as Basque.
