Paraguay Information

Paraguay is a landlocked country in Central South America between Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina, slightly smaller than the state of California. The indigenous Guaran� were conquered by the Spanish conquistadores in the 16th century. In 1811 it gained independence from Spain as was ruled by a series of dictators until the horrible Paraguayan War (1867 � 1870) that destroyed 60% � 70% of its population. After more autocratic regimes, it finally held its first free democratic elections in 1993.

Paraguayans speak two official languages, Spanish and Guaran�.

Language Facts

Guaran� is still spoken by the majority of the population and half of the rural population is monolingual. This is an exception in the colonized Americas, where most countries shifted primarily towards the European Colonial languages. Guaran� is described as "so copious and elegant that it can compete with the most famous [of languages]." (Antonio Ruiz de Montoya, Tesoro de la lengua guaran� ("The Treasure of the Guaran� Language"), 1639).

General Stroessner (dictator 1954 to 1989), the son of a Bavarian immigrant and his Guaran�-speaking wife, made Guaran� an official language, employed his own espionage network of pyragues and rewarded rural Guaran�-speakers with land for their loyalty. In 1992, under democratically elected leadership, the Constitution made Guaran� equal to Spanish. Even the Book of Mormon has been translated into Guaran� and the former American ambassador James Cason produced a Guaran� folk-song album in 2008!

Writing

Guaran� only became a written language relatively recently. Its alphabet is a subset of the Latin script (with "J", "K" and "Y" but not "W"), complemented with two diacritics and six digraphs. Its orthography is largely phonemic, with letter values mostly similar to those of Spanish.
