Image of Vidángoz/Bidankoze, not of the place itself.

The Roncalese dialect of Basque, which disappeared as a spoken language in Vidángoz during the 20th century, has been preserved thanks to the correspondence and translations that residents of the village exchanged in the 19th century with the French linguist Louis-Lucien Bonaparte, nephew of Napoleon and scholar of Basque dialects.
