Basque Literature
Although the first instances of coherent Basque language, Basque phrases and sentences go as far back as the Glosas Emilianenses, San Millán glosses of around 950, the large-scale damage done by periods of great instability and warfare, such as the clan wars of the Middle Ages, the Carlist Wars and the Spanish Civil War, led to the scarcity of written material predating the 16th century.Trask, L. ''The History of Basque'' Routledge 1997 The earliest surviving traces of Basque literary activity 16th-century Basque literature, go back to the 16th century, but significant production does not seem to have set in until the 17th century.

Lapurdian
Navarro-Labourdin or Navarro-Lapurdian () is a Basque dialect spoken in the Lower Navarre and Labourd (Lapurdi) former provinces of the French Basque Country (in the Pyrénées Atlantiques ''département''). It consists of two dialects in older classifications, Lower Navarrese and Labourdin. It differs somewhat from Upper Navarrese spoken in the Peninsular Basque Country. Lower Navarrese or Low Navarrese (Standard Basque: ''behe-nafarrera'') is actually two subdialects, eastern and western; the western dialect continues into eastern Labourd. Labourdin (French ''labourdin''; Standard Basque ''lapurtera'', locally ''lapurtara'') is spoken in western Lapurdi.

He is most famous for being the first to attempt the standardisation of the Basque language and for the translation of religious works into Basque, in particular the first Basque translation of the New Testament.
