The concrete problem addressed in this presentation is why Vascones have been identified with Basques and why their language, Vascuence, Vasco or Euskera, was assumed to be the Basque language. Arguments that result from the interconnection of linguistics, archeology, history, biolinguistics and genetics are applied to resolve that issue. The cross reference to these findings leads to the conclusion that Euskera was not the language of the Vascones. In this paper it will be argued that Euskera was not a pre-Latin language of the pre-Roman Vascones, but a language which was the result an ongoing exchange of names, peoples and other languages and, consequently, that the Basque language is not a pre-Latin language of the Iberian peninsula. Therefore, studies related to the role Basque played in the origins of Spanish must be revised.
