«Euskerazko doktrinia Anzuelako berba moduan» (1825)

Resumen

The aim of this paper is to present a nineteenth-century manuscript containing previously unpublished material in a particular variety of the western Basque, which was spoken in the village of Antzuola (Deba Valley).

This catechism together with the Amileta's one, written in the same village in the 17th century, enable us to compare the local dialects of two different periods with that of today.

The edition offers some remarks on the language data, a vocabulary and the transcription of the text with the corresponding corrections and additional notes. This brief analysis and the data provided by the edition may be of particular interest for the study of micro-dialect variation and language change on western Basque.
