Yes, Basque is spoken in countries other than the Basque Country.
Specifically, the term actually applies to the three Basque-speaking provinces in southwestern France and the four Basque-speaking provinces in northwestern Spain. But currently, it designates the three autonomous provinces to the west of Catalunya and Navarre. It therefore may be said that Basque is spoken in autonomous Spain (Navarre), France (including St-Pierre et Miquelon), and the places of Basque migration and of the Basque diaspora. It consequently may include Basque-speaking descendants, migrants and settlers in:
Australia and New Zealand;
Eurasia (Russia);
Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Uruguay, Venezuela);
North America (Canada, Mexico, USA);
The Philippines.
