 Those from Basque country

It's _Euskara_ (Eskuara is a dialect of Euskara, spoken in France). And that doesn't count anyway as they call their "country" (in quotes since it has no legal existence :( ) _Euskaldi_. Actually, it's even the worst example you could give since foreigners usually call their nation in a variation of "the Basque country" and their language "Basque", while they themselves call their nation "Euskaldi" and their language "Euskara". In both cases the name of the country and the name of the language are closely related.
