English Language
English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England. It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Existing on a dialect continuum with Scots, and then closest related to the Low Saxon and Frisian languages, English is genealogically West Germanic. However, its vocabulary is also distinctively influenced by dialects of France (about 29% of Modern English words) and Latin (also about 29%), plus some grammar and a small amount of core vocabulary influenced by Old Norse (a North Germanic language). Speakers of English are called Anglophones. The earliest forms of English, collectively known as Old English, evolved from a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century and further mutated by Norse-speaking Viking settlers starting in the 8th and 9th ...

It covers most of the city's centre, located on the left bank of the estuary of Bilbao. It is the only district of Bilbao with all of its land completely urbanised. Abando was originally an elizate and also a municipality until 1876, when part of it was annexed to Bilbao, the rest of the elizate's municipal land was integrated into Bilbao in 1890. In 2016 the population was 50,903. Abando is the wealthiest district in Bilbao, with personal and family incomes being well above the citywide average. History The exact moment of the foundation of Abando is unknown, as it is common with other elizates across Biscay.

Aberri Eguna
Aberri Eguna ("Fatherland Day") is a celebration day and set of meetings coinciding with Easter Sunday organized mainly by the Basque nationalist movement. It was first organised by the Basque Nationalist Party on 27 March 1932 in Bilbao, then consisting of a demonstration of some 65,000 participants which terminated at the Sabino Arana House.Kasper, M. ''Baskische Geschichte'' (1997) Primus It has since become the unofficial Basque national holiday. Etymology ''Aberri'' is a neologism coined by Sabino Arana based on the suffix ''-ba'' which occurs in numerous kinship terms (e.g. ''osaba'' "uncle", ''izeba'' "aunt", ''arreba'' "sister of a man" etc.) from which he fancifully deduced a putative root *aba "father". Trask, L. ''The History of Basque'' (1997) Routledge He formed numerous neologisms based on this putative word such as ''aberri'' (*aba + ''herri'' "land, people, country, settlement"), ''abizen'' "surname" (*aba + ''izen'' "name") or ''abenda'' "race" (*aba + ' ...

Buildings And Structures In The Basque Country (autonomous Community)
A building, or edifice, is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory (although there's also portable buildings). Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term ''building'' compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the ''outside'' (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful). Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasses of much artistic ...
