Guaraní

Resumen

Guaraní is natively spoken by around 3 million people, primarily in Paraguay, where it is an official language alongside Spanish. As one of the most spoken indigenous American languages, it is also spoken in parts of Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil. Originating from the Tupian family, Guaraní uses the Latin alphabet and is known for its agglutinative grammar and subject-verb-object (SVO) word order. A cornerstone of Paraguayan identity, Guaraní is integral to the country’s oral traditions, music, and national pride. Its widespread use across social classes underscores its enduring cultural significance.
