Basque is considered a language isolate, meaning it has no known linguistic relatives anywhere in the world. It is the only language in Europe with this unique classification.
Basque is the only widely recognized language isolate in Europe, spoken by communities in the Basque Country of northern Spain and southwestern France.
Many linguists consider it the last surviving pre-Indo-European language of Western Europe, preserving a linguistic tradition that predates the arrival of Celtic languages and the later expansion of Latin across the continent. Despite centuries of study, no proposed connection between Basque and any other language family has gained broad acceptance among scholars.
Today, around 750,000 people speak Basque, and the language has undergone a significant revival through education, media, and official recognition after facing centuries of decline.

′′ Le vélo est la mort lente de la planète ".
Un banquier a fait réfléchir les économistes quand il a déclaré : ′′
Un cycliste est une catastrophe pour l'économie du pays :
il n'achète pas de voitures et n'emprunte pas d'argent pour l'acheter.
Il ne paie pas les polices d'assurance.
N'achète pas de carburant, ne paie pas pour la révision et les réparations nécessaires de la voiture.
N 'utilise pas de parking payant.
Il ne provoque pas d'accidents majeurs.
Ne nécessite pas d'autoroutes multiples.
Il ne devient pas obèse.
Les gens en bonne santé ne sont pas nécessaires ou utiles à l'économie.
Ils n'achètent pas de médicaments, ils ne vont pas dans les hôpitaux ou chez les médecins, ils n'ajoutent rien au PIB du pays.
Tandis que chaque nouveau magasin McDonald' s crée au moins :
30 emplois,
dont 10 cardiologues,
10 dentistes,
10 experts en régime alimentaire et nutritionnistes,
ainsi que les personnes qui travaillent dans le magasin lui-même, évidemment ".
Choisissez donc avec attention : un vélo ou un Mc Donald ?
Ça vaut la peine d'y penser...
PS : marcher c'est encore pire car les piétons n'achètent même pas de vélo !

Você sabe o que são os países nórdicos? 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴🇫🇮🇮🇸
Eles são Dinamarca, Suécia, Noruega, Finlândia e Islândia, países do norte da Europa conhecidos pelo frio, pelas paisagens impressionantes e por alguns dos melhores índices de qualidade de vida do mundo.
Mas tem uma coisa que muita gente percebe: por que as bandeiras deles são tão parecidas?
A resposta está na famosa Cruz Nórdica, aquele desenho de cruz deslocada para o lado esquerdo. Esse modelo foi inspirado na bandeira da Dinamarca, o Dannebrog, considerada uma das bandeiras nacionais mais antigas ainda em uso.
Com o tempo, outros países da região adotaram o mesmo estilo, mas usando cores diferentes para representar sua própria identidade. Por isso, as bandeiras parecem “da mesma família”, mas cada uma tem sua história.
E detalhe importante: países nórdicos e Escandinávia não são exatamente a mesma coisa! A Escandinávia geralmente envolve Dinamarca, Noruega e Suécia, enquanto os países nórdicos também incluem Finlândia e Islândia.

The Brian Unwin Library houses a special piece of CQHS history.
As our founding headteacher, Brian Unwin helped shape this school from day one.
Thanks to his love of reading and his family’s book donation, students can connect with that very legacy every time they open a book.
