On the east of the Pyrenees in Navarre, the [[Roncalese dialect|Roncalese]] and [[Salazarese dialect]]s of Basque used to be spoken in the valleys of [[Roncal Valley|Roncal]] and [[Salazar Valley|Salazar]], but they disappeared near the end of the twentieth century; the last person who spoke the Roncalese dialect died in 1991 and in Salazar the language also disappeared because the last person who spoke it fluently died during the first years of the twenty-first century. Apart from dialects, sub-dialects from Basque also exist and there are also differences in vocabulary in local linguistic communities.
