I'll spell it out (for the downvoter): "is a language isolate to any other known living language" as well as being "a language". It has a very special status between France and Spain. I think anyone who knows about Basque would think of Basque when reading about a computer language named Bosque.
- Udik 8y agoNot really: Bosque, Bosco, Bois, Bos, all mean "wood", "forest" in, respectively, Spanish and Portuguese, Italian, French, Dutch. So it's a pretty familiar word to most Europeans.
- logicallee 8y agoOK, thanks.
- mimixco 8y agoNot if you speak Spanish. "Un bosque," a forest, isn't related to Euskera, as the Basque language in known in Spanish. That part of Spain is called Euskadi or País Vasco, neither of which looks like bosque in Spanish nor Basque in English.
