Abstract
We discuss the expected spectral properties of starbursts of zero and very low metallicity covering their restframe EUV and UV to optical spectra. The main criteria to establish such a "primeval" nature are summarised. Finally we compare these expected properties, including continuum and emission lines, to existing observations of high-z galaxies and briefly discuss future observational prospects.
