In the case of Basque it was more difficult to decide how create one standard, because of you say well: the many differences between the seven dialects. Not all speakers got satisfied, but it was a necessary step for keeping the language alive.
Even more, from the standard you can also study the dialects and compare differences between them, something impossible without the help of a standard (cultured) language.
