Editing Bay of Biscay (section)

==Etymology==
The Bay of Biscay is known in Spain as the Gulf of Biscay ({{langx|es|Golfo de Vizcaya}}; {{langx|eu|Bizkaiko Golkoa}}). In France, it is called the Gulf of [[Gascony]] ({{langx|fr|Golfe de Gascogne}} {{IPA|fr|ɡɔl.f(ə) də ɡas.kɔɲ|}}; {{langx|oc|Golf de Gasconha}}; {{langx|br|Pleg-mor Gwaskogn}}; {{langx|eu|Gaskoiniako Golkoa}}). In [[Latin]], the bay was known as {{lang|la|Sinus Cantabrorum}} ([[Cantabria|Cantabrian]] Gulf); the name [[Cantabrian Sea]] is still used locally for the southern area of the Bay of Biscay that washes over the northern coast of Spain ([[Cantabria]]). The English name comes from [[Biscay]] on the northern Spanish coast, probably standing for the [[Biscayne (ethnonym)|western Basque districts]] (''Biscay'' up to the early 19th century).
