Those uninterrupted relationships have inevitably left marks on the lexicon, some evident, others veiled. This article proposes a lexicostatistical approach of Latin and Romance loanwords in Basque. Three types of corpuses are tested: fundamental lexicon, popular speech and literary writing. Even if the loanwords of Latin and Romance origin are dominant in the (theoretical) total lexicon, the native Basque words remain majority in all the samples of language tested here.https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00077730https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00077730v1/file/Emprunts_latino-romans.pdfvignette : https://www.bilketa.eus/in/rest/Thumb/image?id=ark:/27020/Artxiker-00077730&mat=articleNumfreArchive ouverte HAL | HAL artxibo irekiaMeasuring loanwords from Latin and Romance in BasqueProportions of native Basque words in various corpusesComparisons with other languagesHistorical perspectivesHiztegigintza - LexikologiaLexicographie - LexicologieHizkuntzaren historiaHistoire de la langueL'emprunt lexical d'origine latino-romane en basque : une approche lexico-statistique
