AHC/Wank Basque Supremacy

As there has been a lot of love for Basque atm, I thought I may as well up the challenge. With zero time restrictions, make a way for the Basque language to be the dominate language in the regions associated with the Vasconic Substratum Theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasconic_substratum_theory).

Basque doesn't need to be the majority language, just the dominant language. I'll that up to you lot to consider what is dominant. Bonus points for anyone who is able the get Basque to somehow spread to the Caucasian Mountains as that place seems to have just about everything spoken there.

Feel free to have as much or as little detail as possible. If you are interested and can be bothered, feel free to as some linguistics stuff and trees etc.

Best of luck and get wanking!
 
Oddly enough, the Caucasian thing actually sounds almost plausible with a Roman Empire era PoD. Hear me out: jiggle around the dates of Roman conquests of regions so that they finish conquering Vasconia just before they invade the Caucasus for some reason. Have the Empire do its “move rebellious minorities” thing and have them ship over a number of Vasconi to serve as soldiers during the Caucasian conquest. All they’d have to do then is settle down in some isolated Caucasian valley and they’d have a good chance of keeping the language alive.

For some reason, I also picture Vasconia becoming a Roman vassal with a lot of autonomy in terms it practicing their own religion in such. It doesn’t fuse with the Roman Pantheon and could probably spread from France to Iberian Peninsula.

The Gauls would assimilate any Germanic tribes to create some sort of Celtic-Germanic tribe and further separate them from their northern neighbors.

Maybe the Vasconi could also occupy the British isles as their vassals and while the Celtic languages up north would still be present, Vasconi would kinda be the dominant language they could all speak there
