Pyrene

[edit]
Smuggling was of such importance that a local tale tells that the mountain was covered by gold until evil men came to take it away. They burned the trees on the mountain to reach the gold, but the metal melted and flowed away.

Isn't it a Greek legend of Pyrene, that the mounts take their name of fire ("pyros") burning them to melt the gold. If so, the story is much older than smuggling.

Intersting lecture: http://www.unesco.org/cpp/uk/declarations/linguistic.pdf

  • <<Art.1-3. For the purpose of this Declaration, groups are also deemed to be in their own territory and to belong to a language community in the following circumstances:

i. when they are separated from the main body of their community by political or administrative boundaries; …>> So it seems that the Basques in the Northern Basque Country form not just a language group as defined in article 5 but that they belong to a language community.

Language communities have more rights than language groups: <<Article 38: The languages and cultures of all language communities must receive equitable and nondiscriminatory treatment in the communications media throughout the world.>> Larrun and La Rhune are both used in english; Larrun as native name has the right to prevail. --Havang(nl) (talk) 12:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
