Hi, everyone! I hope you like the new video. If you understand Spanish and want to learn more about Guarani, Iván (who recorded the audio samples and gave me feedback for this video) has a new channel to teach Guarani: czcams.com/channels/M0ri9700CquKx1gFjWfJGg.html. Check it out!
I would love If you made a video about Tupi language (It's another indigenous language)
El guarani es de paraguay : iporã upea kp. ha iporã !
@@gabrieldepaulasantos5194 Me too. Tupi-Guarani is the most famous Brazilian indigenous language. You all speak Tupi when talking about our most known song: The Girl from Ipanema (Ipanema = stinky lake).
wow It's so many diffirent languages Guarani in to far understand of Spanish which exisist the Europe guys, wow maybe will meet Paraguayan and Spanish..!! Is the unik dan hard by languages of Guarani.!!😓
This is kinda scary. I was thinking the last week about starting a guaraní/yopará channel. And then, this pops up...😳
I spent six months in Paraguay as part of my gap year, volunteering in a school. The kids spoke Spanish the vast majority of the time, apart from when playing football, they’d shout to each other almost exclusively in guarani.
I can't believe you were in my country! Your channel helped me a lot with my English (and French?).
In practical terms Guarani is the vernacular language of Paraguayans. The closest we have in Mexico of a indigenous vernacular language is the Nahuatl influenced Spanish.

I’m originally Brazilian, my mother was Paraguayan. She’d speak in Guarani with my Aunt, but both got confused every time they had to switch language, in that case to Portuguese. They always referred to Spanish language as Castilian, the Paraguayan are very gentle and vibrant, I have only good memories.
Abraço do Paraguai, cara.
In some countries we prefer to call the language Castillian and not Spanish. This word is also more sensitive with the reality in Spain, were many languages live together.
@@Guarani-lz8xo As I recall, certain parts of Spain don't even want to speak Castilian at all
@@InfernosReaper yeah it's true! The first time I met a galego speaker I was shocked, I had only heard of catalan, castillian, basque, mallorqin etc!
@@kierankelly2616 Galego! The true sister of Portuguese! If I am not mistaken, this channel has a video on it!
As a Brazilian, I'm happy to see indigenous languages from South America been included.
I know a few words, you can find a dictionary of guarani / portuguese online, interesting language, without any root in any other major languages.
@Maicol Chaile si traduces ñ se traduce como norte xddd
Tem mais que uma língua indígena,tem várias tribos por todo o Brasil,principalmente na Amazônia e Acre.
@@kerstinbing7851 that pure BS! Guarani was spread trough out all South America, also considering that both Brazil and Argentina could literally cut Paraguay in half and anex them, it was Brazil that didn't want to do that, so yeah Paraguay only exist because of brazilian compassion and generosity i see as a mistake, because of this we always get annoyed by some Paraguayan imbecile claiming bs over Brazil.
Also, Paraguay didn't have any claim on Amazon wich there still plenty of Guarani and other tribes.
@@efxnews4776 maybe that's because the "major languages" we're used to are european languages, like ancient greek. Guarani comes from native americans, so there was no way it could come from one of those big languages
Just this year, the first "official" dictionary of the Guarani language was released by the Guarani Language Academy. It's monolingual and has about 2000 entries.
That’s great news!
Wow! This is definitely good news! (As a Brazilian I've been secretly "jealous" of my friends from Paraguay, who have the privilege to speak such a beautiful language. We should spread the use and the study of Guarani!)
@@daniels. More than beautiful, it's unique. It's having the same destine as english who is basically mixing within Paraguay, which will make the language evolve into "Paraguayan", unlike the other indigenous languages who will be frozen in time due to overprotection (Like in Bolivia) or deleted due to lack of care (Like in Chile).
Qué estuvieron haciendo todos estos años sin sacar un diccionario oficial?
@@N12015 well it isn't evolving on its own like you could say of past english and modern English. It has a heavy influence of Spanish (not saying this as a bad thing tho), so it'd evolve that way rather than a gradual evolution. Plus since there's a real academia de Español, there's always gonna be Spanish in the country which would just make a guarani Spanish evolution too similar to Spanish imo.
I'm half Paraguayan and half Korean, this video really brings a big smile on my face, finally Paraguay gets more recognition. I only speak Spanish, Korean, & English in a conversational level and very little Guarani since my mom never taught me, thanks for uploading this video, I'm motivated to learn more Guarani!
I feel you! I do also plan to study Guarani!
Sadly, this is very common, elders tend to use Spanish to talk to younger people, especially kids
My parents are in fact fluent Guarani speakers but my mother tongue is Spanish and I don't feel as comfortable using pure Guarani, only jopara.
Hope you succeed in learning Kevin!
@@palomaclaverol1172 Thank you & hopefully I get the time to visit Paraguay again soon hahaha
Kevin, Como hablas español podrias hacer el curso de guaraní de duolinguo para tener mas fluidez
Paraguay is not a Race... Paraguayan mixed, white?
@@luanlopes9415 hay bastantes etnias en el país, la mayoría es mestiza entre guaraníes, españoles, portugueses, italianos y alemanes.
I really appreciate the way Paul pronounced "Rondônia," "Paraguay," "Guarani," "Asunción" and others. It's a gesture of caring about the spoken language that I also try to do as much as possible.
Guarani to me is unintelligible, although I'd possibly identify the spoken form from Paraguay.
Yes, he really did it.
Agree, it shows he gives importance to the languages and respect for the people who speak them. I'm glad he can pull off these.
I almost thought you were meant to pronounce Guarani as "GARANII".

I was impressed with this too. I am brazilian and can confirm: he even sounds like a native speaker of Portuguese!

Paraguayan spanish phonology (even when speaking with 0% Guarani loanwords),is heavily influenced by Guarani phonology as well.
To me, it sounds like the stereotypical Texan accent in cowboy movies, but converted to Spanish

Eso tiene que ver con el clásico acento paraguayo cuando habla español, por esa razón el acento Paraguayo es muy raro para los demás países de habla hispana.

@@edwardcardozo8325a
What is fascinating about Guarani is the way it found a way to survive and even being spoken by non indigenous people. When I traveled to Paraguay white and even Asian descendants spoke Guarani too.
What really made Guaraní stand up was the war, Guaraní was a language back then that almost nobody knew.
La mayoria de la poblacion del Paraguay desciende de los españoles y sus harenes de mujeres guaraníes. Los españoles descubrieron que solo las mujeres guaranies se dedicaban a la agricultura, y ademas podian producir mas trabajadores, las acapararon en grandes cantidades, y los hijos que tuvieron con ellas aprendian el guaraní como primera lengua. Est sistema produjo miles de personas que ya no se consideraban indigenas pero que mantuvieron el idioma hasta la actualidad, a pesar de que fue denigrado e incluso prohibido en muchas epocas, por ejemplo prohibiendo los hermosos apellidos guaranies de las familias mestizas.

The grammar of Guarani has things that many other languages do, but in a more complex or unique way. The various pronouns and conjugations would be a challenge. I'm happy that a Native South American language survived and remained on top.
Guaraní mythology is also quite unique and interesting.
@@federicomanuelolveira7658 ooh I'll have to look into that, that sounds fascinating

Are you interested in the typing work. Of this language
I'm Japanese and speak Spanish, but I didn't know anything about Guarani.
Languages of indigenous people in Latin America have huge variety so I would like to know more.
Your videos are always incredibly amazing and informative! Thank you!!
It is interesting if they want to learn Guarani they must also learn African languages such as Angolan, since Guarani and Angolan are identical languages.
Guarani is a very interesting dialect, it is identical to African languages, and Guarani belongs to the African language families. It also has many words borrowed from African languages, and the phonetics, the similarity of the words is impressive.
The latest studies reaffirm that the Guarani share the same DNA as the Africans, because everything fits perfectly, from the features, to the accent, the customs, the gastronomy, it is the same.
It is evident that the Guarani are Aboriginal, and it is that the Africans are Aboriginal, that is the reason for the similarity, and their dialect is so identical, even many Africans understand Guarani, there is also another proof.
Paul made another video i think about Quichua/Quechua and Aymara, i think, check them out! He should do Mapudungun/Mapuche next!
@@giorgiofontane2655 "Angolan" you mean mbundu or kinbundu or perhaps another variation of bantu??? The only feature you can relate to is that both are indigenous ethnic groups that have expanded to various subgroups Bantu = Tupi
@@giorgiofontane2655 really? Woaaah :0 I'm from Paraguay but I didn't know that, such an interesting fact
@Valeria Perez ciElos... Y yo que siempre me había preguntado sobre el origen de esa palabra
I'm paraguayan and jopara is extensively used in daily conversations, at least i use more spanish bc my guarani is weaker, but i'm on the way to improve it bc now i found it interesting, but usually when we encounter any foreign we tend to not use jopara in order to let them understand us. usually in the street we say "haupei" which means "and then?" as a greeting to others meaning "how r u" and we reply the same word. or we use " mba'eteko, mba'eichapa, or similar " as a greeting as well and we reply how we feel at that moment , usually "ipora aime hina" which means "i'm fine at this moment" or that is the expression i use. great video btw.

I'm brazilian and recognized some Guarani sufixes that we have in the names of rivers, towns and streets in São Paulo, such as "Anhanguera". I wish Guarani and other native languages hadn't been erased in Brazil. Thanks for bringing light to Guarani in this video.
guéra from guarani and guera from Tupi are completely diferent. Anhanguera was the nickname of a bandeirante called Bartolomeu Bueno da Silva, and it litteraly meant "old devil".

Hi Paul.
Thanks. Excellent job. I'm an English South African and have been living in Paraguay since 1986. As a language teacher I use Spanish and English more often but to get a point through I add some local Guarani Jopara and immediately the local people can grasp it better. I also live on the Brazilian border and therefore have learnt Portuguese too. I have seen locals using a tri lingual code switch. Not to mention the large Mennonite population that speak plattdütch and Guarani as too the large Japanese diaspora that also pick up Guarani quickly. You can find Tupi-Guarani words for animals and places from the northern Amazon in Brazil to the Patagonia in Argentina. Jaguar and Piranha are examples of Guarani words in English.
Hola a todos los paraguayos, soy argentino y también hablo guaraní, porque en la zona del litoral se suele hablar pero no tanto como allí, un saludo a todos los paraguayos 🇦🇷🇵🇾

An interesting fact: the Tupi language (abánhe'enga) was the lingua franca of colonial Brazil until 1758, when the Marquis of Pombal banned it due to the persecution he had against the Jesuits, being gradually replaced by Portuguese. The Língua Geral Paulista (São Paulo General Language ), descendant of ancient Tupi, was spoken until the beginning of the 20th century, with the Amazonian General Language being the only variant that has survived to this day in some parts of the Amazon.

This is nonsense, portuguese language was already the main language in Northeast and Rio de Janeiro by the end of XVI century and in XVII century in São Paulo and Minas Gerais after a massive immigration from Portugal.
@@tiagor.369 A main language isn't necessarily the same thing as a lingua franca
I love that Guaraní is being discussed in your channel. Greetings from Paraguay and aguyje (thank you).
13:28 It's interesting to see that the word for "beautiful" in Guarani is "porã". In Tupi, it is "poranga" and in Nheengatu, one of the few surviving varieties of Tupi today spoken in the Amazon, it is "puranga".
That word is seen in numerous names of places throughout Brazil. I'm loving to see these similarities among languages
From what i undestand (and if i'm wrong, someone who speaks guarani please correct me) porã can also mean "good" as in the moral sense.
@@crazy1tad1pole1 and Vaí means bad or ugly. But porã means good in the sense of Fine or Well, in the sense of Moral goodness we utilice Marangatu.

well, I'm Paraguayan and I live in the Countryside, we speak almost only Guarani it's really rare to speak Spanish...and if someone do so it would be kinda snob...At home I speak both Spanish and Guaraní cuz my mother she's a Teacher and she was always into make their children speak a good Spanish...in School everything is in Spanish(all the books, etc.) But we don't speak Spanish, just some weirdos...but i know it's different In the city....My English is not really good, so sorry if I made any mistake...
Your English is very good. You have a bit of reverse-snobbery, I think.
I'm also from Paraguay, though I'm from the Chaco, so Guaraní was something I only ever heard on TV, with most people either speaking Plautdietsch, Lengua, or Nivaclé. I haven't lived there in over a decade though, so I don't know how it is now
@@MarcHarder yeah, Chaco is a pretty interesting region...
That's pretty interesting. So I guess people speak more Guarani outside the city but more Spanish inside the city but the majority of the people don't speak pure Spanish or pure Guarani?
Your English is fine - and, considering it’s your THIRD language, I’d say it’s outstanding!
Mis respetos a todos los hermanos paraguayos por haber preservado su cultura indígena. Ver que por lo menos en un país de Latinoamérica han preservado un idioma indígena y se sienten orgullosos de ello, me da mucha esperanza.
Soy Chileno y siempre he querido aprender Rapanui (el idioma de los pascuenses) pero lamentablemente no hay recursos ni incentivos para eso.
Ojalá algún día nuestra región acepte y adopte sus culturas originarias y renazca más fuerte, más unida, más auténtica.
I'm glad to see how accurate is the information on this video. I am Paraguayan and I mix a lot Spanish and guarani, specially with my close friends, with strangers I never use guarani, at least in Asuncion. I consider myself fluent in jopara, I can understand pure avañe'ê, but to speak, definitely it is easier for me to speak jopara. Great video, congratulations!

Spanish speaker here from Argentina, Argentine father and Guarani mother. I know next to nothing about Guarani but thanks to the snippets and fun facts my mom's been telling me, I know it's a very rich language with a lot of colorful place names. My mom is aggressively native when speaking Spanish in Argentina, except when she speaks with a relative or someone that knows Guarani. When that happens, she basically transitions from Spanish, to Spanish with a thick Guarani accent, to half Spanish half Guarani, and then to full blown Guarani. She's basically native, although since she left her home town at a pretty young age she isn't that "advanced". As advanced as a 15 y/o can be in their native language xd
According to my mom, there is this river in Paraguay called Tebicuary (In Guarani: tevikuary), which literally translates as "juice of the asshole" (Tevi: ass, kua: hole, ry: juice).
¡Such a lovely language! :D
Realmente el río tiene el color de la diarrea. Pero esa es una cualidad del Guaraní es onomatopeyico esto es, describe el objeto, en castellano cuando existe un objeto nuevo, por ejemplo: televisor, el castellano tiene que recurrir al griego: Tele ( a distancia ) y visor ( que permite ver), el guaraní describe el objeto: ta'anga vyru: objeto que transmite a la distancia una imagen. Esto le permitio sobrevivir. El Guaraní desde el punto de vista científico es un idioma perfecto: es onomatopeyico, polisintetico y aglutinante.
It reminds me of the people I grew up with in my neighborhood, they all are truly bilingual and transition from one language to the other in different moments at different degrees.
Have you tried learning it?
Is your name Japanese?
@@kinok5927 I have considered it but my mom is not proficient enough to teach it, and there are not many resources out there.

Soy de Paraguay y puedo decir que es complicado de explicar como utilizamos el Guarani en el habla cotidiana, pues existe un dualismo de ideas respecto al idioma. Algunos lo ven como un lenguaje inculto y otros de manera contraria.
La mayoría usa el Jopara como forma de comunicación diaria, pues no existen términos o denominaciones para las palabras modernas como SmartPhone, Facebook, Internet, etc ; pero hay Guaraniólogos que han tratado de adaptarlos al idioma pero no se utilizan, por ejemplo Mbayruguata= auto (mbayru=caja/recipiente + guata=caminar, literalmente= caja/recipiente andante o que camina), suena hasta ridículo esa traducción pues la mayoría de las palabras en Guarani son onomatopeyas de las cosas como parara, pururu, piriri, karau, choguy, chia, etc. (Lastimosamente el teclado de la computadora no tiene letras con pronunciación nasal para escribir correctamente).
Se puede hablar el Jopara mayoritariamente Guarani con menos Español= Ha´e nio oho kuri icolegiope
Se puede hablar el Jopara mayoritariamente español con menos Guarani= El nio se fue kuri a su colegio
Ambos significan la misma cosa y ambos tienen validez al momento de comunicarse, ninguno es mal hablado, algunos dicen que suena muy Tavy=ignorante y tildan al Jopara como Ñe´e Tavy= lenguaje vulgar.
Ha quienes hablan solo español pero usan nio, ko, pio, na al final de ciertas palabras, por ejemplo, El nio fue, eso ko no es así, eso pio esta bien, haceme na caso.
En fin, cada quien habla como le sea más fácil comunicarse y eso no significa que sea incorrecto.
En el norte de Argentina se usa entre palabras en español, como describiste. Como al decir "vos nio sos loco!" (que suena más a "vo' nio so' loco).
@@emmanuel7489 tengo entendido que en la provincia de Corrientes el guaraní correntino es idioma cooficial, quizá eso influya en algo.

To me, Guarani language sounds so beautiful and elegant!
The most interesting part of the phonology is the distinction between nasalisation and denasalisation.(the nasal harmony) Taiwanese has somehow a similar phenomenon though it is not quite a grammar stuff but merely a result of phonological change.
The distinction between active and stative verbs reminds me of the Japanese verb distinction of “自動詞/他動詞”.
I'm a Paraguayan who lived in Taiwan for a few years. Apart from Guarani being an official language in Paraguay (but seldom used officially), its status really resembles the Taiwanese language in Taiwan. I sadly speak very little Guarani (and no Taiwanese at all) since the subject was very poorly taught at school.
It is interesting if they want to learn Guarani they must also learn African languages such as Angolan, since Guarani and Angolan are identical languages.
Guarani is a very interesting dialect, it is identical to African languages, and Guarani belongs to the African language families. It also has many words borrowed from African languages, and the phonetics, the similarity of the words is impressive.
The latest studies reaffirm that the Guarani share the same DNA as the Africans, because everything fits perfectly, from the features, to the accent, the customs, the gastronomy, it is the same.
It is evident that the Guarani are Aboriginal, and it is that the Africans are Aboriginal, that is the reason for the similarity, and their dialect is so identical, even many Africans understand Guarani, there is also another proof.
@@giorgiofontane2655 😲 Wow, never heard of that! Gonna check it out later I think.
However, I do heard of the theory that some of the ancestors of South American aborigines were actually Africans who came directly from Africa via Atlantic Ocean. I guess that’s something to do with that.
@@user-wt5mw3il9e Don't listen to Baymar, he's talking bs. There's no connection between Guarani and Niger-Congo languages (major language family in Africa) at all, as that guy is saying.

I’ve always found Guaraní and Guaraní accent so fascinating. I didn’t know it was that complex, tho!
Same Guaraní loan words: piranha, jaguar, açai, jacaranda, tapioca, capoeira.
I've started the guarani course in duolingo like 2 weeks ago after hearing about it in Babel, a brazilian podcast about languages. And now this! I loved it, thanks!
I'm Filipino and my native language "Tagalog" has similarity in Guarani when it comes to word order. We Tagalog speakers always say that our language is flexible.
I'm paraguayan, and what I read from Tagalog languange, is that it has a lot of loans from english and also some spanish, with guarani happens the same with spanish and the guarani spoken in Brazil loans from portuguese
Ah, that's code-switching but to tell you the truth, it depends on the place on where it is spoken. If you're from Metro Manila(capital and greater Manila), you will see bunch of people who speak that way, but if you go to nearby provinces, you will see people who speak Tagalog(pure one) and sometimes Tagalog speakers from Manila have hard time understanding them because people from provinces use archaic Tagalog words and expressions.
I have noticed that some Filipino words have Nahuatl origin.
Actually there are many languages that have flexible word order. I speak two of them - Russian and Latvian. Though, sometimes when changing word order in the sentence and intonation - whole meaning is changing too

The timing of this video couldn’t have been better! I’m writing about the interactions between the indigenous languages of Latin America and Spanish for my bachelor’s dissertation. I was just taking a 15-minute break from working on it at the moment in fact, but I don’t think this counts as a break anymore 😅

I never expected of a video of guarani, im argentinian, my parents and my grandparents are from Paraguay, in any family meeting they are speaking in guarani and listen to Polka Paraguaya, i love the paraguayan culture because i grow up in there.

I've heard of Guarani before, but never heard it spoken. It's one of the more beautiful languages I've heard.
Abraços brasileiros aos irmãos paraguaios! Puranga ara, como se diz em nheenngatu "Bom dia". Nheengatu é a língua geral amazônica baseada no tupinambá falado na costa do Maranhão e Pará e foi mais falada na Amazônia do que o português no século XIX. Hoje ainda é falada em alguns locais da Amazônia e em São Gabriel da Cachoeira-AM foi cooficializada junto ao português e outras 2 línguas indígenas. A língua geral Paulista também baseada no tupi antigo hoje é extinta. No sul do Brasil o guarani também foi quase uma língua geral. Por.pouco o Brasil hoje não é bilíngue. Por decreto de Marques de Pombal e a expulsão dos jesuítas, as línguas gerais foram proibidas. Apesar disso, o português brasileiro herdou cerca de 4.000 vocábulos das línguas tupi-guarani na topônimia, flora, fauna, expressões, culinária etc...a família Tupi-Guarani é a mais importante família linguística indígena dos países a leste dos Andes e a norte da foz do Rio da Prata, especialmente Brasil, Paraguai, Bolívia e norte da Argentina. Um abraço latino sul-americano bem grande aos nossos vizinhos do continente! Pitun katu! (Boa noite na língua ka'apor - tupi - falada pelo povo de mesmo nome aqui na Amazônia Maranhense)

Really apreciated, I'm argentinian but my grandparents are Paraguayan and I remember that they always used the "Let's speak in Guaraní" card when they didn't want us to know what they were saying or were discussing, what it seemed so funny to me was that they put some spanish words every so and then. Amazing video
I'm from Argentina and I own a biligual dictionary named Guarania. I love it because it only shows purely guaraní words and no loanwords from spanish. My experience with guaraní is listening to paraguayan people speaking it here in Buenos Aires. It's quite fascinating how the language survived so well and it sounds so alien to spanish speakers like us argentinians

Very interesting! And what made it even more enjoyable was the fact that a miracle occurred, and there were no ads!
A few years ago, I visited the Itaipú Hydroelectric project on the Paraná river between Paraguay and Brazil. I got on a bus with fellow tourists from Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. I've spoken southwestern U.S. / northern Mexican Spanish most of my adult life so I had no problem eaves-dropping on my fellow passengers from Argentina. The Brazilians of course evaded me with Portuguese, but I was baffled because I couldn't understand a word spoken by the Paraguayans. That was my first encounter with Guaraní and I'm ashamed to admit that I'd never heard of the language before then. Excellent video!
Here in Brazil we are familiar with many words from Tupi/Guarani, which were incorporated to original Portuguese, and African dialects too. A lot of places have Tupi/Guarani names, like Morumbi, Canindé, Pacaembu, Itaim, Itajubá, Itabira, Itabirito, Itacolomi, Pará, Paraná, Paraíba, Anhangabaú, Ibirapuera etc.
My mom's from Ji Paraná, Rondônia! So interesting to learn about the origins of the language
Ikatu ete! I studied ancient Tupi before and I spoke some phrases in it to a Paraguayan friend. He could understand almost everything. It's a pity that, in Brazil, Portugal has extinguished a language by decrete! Congratulations to our brothers in Paraguay who kept their beautiful language.

Hi Paul! I've been a fan of your channel for at least 5 years, and you're videos are still awesome! I'm so happy to see each new one. This one made my day!
I remember my grandmother and her cousins translating poems by Pablo Neruda from Spanish into the Guaraní language and reciting them aloud as a form of entertainment. They talked to each other in Castilian and spoke to me in Brazilian Portuguese. I think this is one of the fondest memories I have of my childhood.
As a Venezuelan, I'm very glad Paraguayans and their indigenous people were able to retain their language at this level. It's always very saddening to hear about lost indigenous languages in the region, so cases like this are very positive!
It wasn't indigenous people who retain guarani language but mestizo people, and after the Triple Aliance War the new population called castizos (mestizos + European people mixture) 92% of actual Paraguayan population. We use it in our everyday lifes so it still remains.
I'm from Venezuela too and I wish it had happened here too but they don't adapt

Paraguayan here, your comment made me start to count and I realized I don't know the Guarani word for the number 4. The struggle is real lmao

Excelente!! One more thing, there are some Guarani expressions that we translate to Spanish that and don't make any sense at all to Spanish speakers from other countries. Like, "Che areko voi upea", which we say in Jopara "Yo tengo luego eso", the work "luego" is just how we translate "voi" and its purpose is to emphasize the "I _have_ that".
In Jopara we also use some prefixes and suffixes from Guarani, for example, when we ask a question we add "na" to make it more polite, like "Prestame na eso", or "pa" to show that we are being suspicious, for example: "Por qué pa hizo eso?".
Nunca me puse a pensar en profundidad el por qué decimos "luego" en nuestras frases cotidianas cuando gramaticalmente no tiene sentido. Pero tienes toda la razón, sí jajajj.
EXACTAMENTE!!
What an amazing video, loved it ! Thanks for making a video about our beautiful language 👌
I'm from Brazil, and Guarani inspired several words, lyrics and phrases from Brazilian Portuguese, that's why it's so different from European! Curious isn't it??
Old Tupi influenced our language, not Guarani, there's a big difference between the two.
@@ariloussant nah, there's a "small" difference between them. Tupí and Guaraní were even closer than Spanish and Portuguese are. If anything, it would've been more like the similarities/differences between Portuguese and Galician - almost the same language, but not quite
@@JosePineda-cy6om I agree with you ❤️
@@JosePineda-cy6om Nah mate, i'm gonna have to disagree. I think you misunderstood what i meant by big difference, what i mean is that one could easily distinguish between them just by looking at the orthography and certain patterns.
Old Guarani inherited the Proto-Tupi-Guarani *ts-/t͡ʃ- as an h, while Tupi semi-preserved it as an s-, the borrowings into Portuguese and the native words themselves could easily be distinguished by that (Tupi: mosapyt vs Guarani: mbohapy "three", T: cuarasy vs G: cuarahy "sun", T: soó vs G: hoó "meat") the dropping of final syllables (porã, instead of Tupi's poranga for example) and the usage of v in Guarani's orthography.
@@JosePineda-cy6om Also, the truly closest relatives of Guarani are part of its own subgroup, called Subgroup I, which includes Guarani proper, Kaiwá, Ache and Xetá
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarani_languages
Old Tupi is in subgroup III along with Potiguara, Cocama-Omagua and possibly Tupiniquim (if it could've been considered a different dialect from Tupinambá).
I really wish guaraní survived in here the way it does in Paraguay, this is so amazing! My state borders the Amazon, so many street names, cities, neighborhoods, rivers, etc have names that come from guaraní. I also think that more than half of the Brazilian states’ names are tupi guarani words, and we have lots of words from day to day vocabulary that are tupi Guarani too. Thank you, this video was amazing!
Yes, here in rio grande do sul as well! It's absolutely amazing. I'm eager to learn Guarani some time in the future (just bc I'm moving to Czech Republic and need to learn czech)
Actually it's 50/50. 13 states names are indigenous and 13 are Portuguese.
@@andarilho_31 Sorry I count them in my head while I was writing the comment, must've forgotten one state 🤧
After the end of the Triple Alliance war and the occupation of Paraguay by the Brazilian army, Paraguayans were forbidden to speak Guaraní. It must be taken into account that Brazil at that time was an empire and that it was high colonial. therefore it had racist and xenophobic characteristics. So yes, if the guaraní remained, it was largely thanks to Paraguay.
@@ali-tx3ft if guarani remained, it was thanks to Paraguay and if Paraguay remained, it was thanks to Brazil. And Dom Pedro II spoke Guarani (old Tupi, but they thought it was Guarani), he was a great appreciator and student of indigenous culture, I don't think he would be capable of that, maybe someone else.
Such detail. Thank you for taking the time to really analyze the languages you cover. Language development has such an important cultural aspect.
Thank you so much for this video! I live in southern Brazil and there are many Guarani settlements close to my town. The few times I visited, one of the most interesting things was listening to them explaining the differences between the variants of the languages spoken here and elsewhere
I am Argentinian, my mother from Paraguay and my father from the province of Corrientes in Argentina. Both were bilingual in Guarani but to a different extent. My mother used to say that my father's Guarani was not perfect because it was profoundly influenced by Spanish syntax. She used to notice certain terms which were different between Paraguayan standard Guarani and his "mistaken" south of Ibera National Park dialect.
I was never capable of learning Guarani, which I regret it profoundly. For me, Guarani is the language of secrecy and gossips, my parents used to speak in that language when they didn't want my sister or I to understand what they were talking about. The same thing with my mother and my grandma, or my mother and her sister.
Thank you for the video!

I clicked the notification as soon as I could. Paraguay is for me one of the most fascinating countries in Latin America, chiefly due to the Guarani language and its role in the country.
Thank you for this video featuring such an interesting, accurate and easy-to-understand history and characteristics of the Guarani language. I was born and raised in Paraguay but unfortunately never had the opportunity to speak the language although I can understand most of the "yopara" I hear people speak. Without a doubt, the Guarani language (along with the "terere" drink) gives Paraguay a strong national identity.
I was thinking when you were talking about the Jopara code switching that code switching itself would be an interesting video and of course a quick search led me to your code switching video. Happy you covered it, thanks!
I'm American 🇺🇸 and I find this language interesting. When I was Ciudad del Este, I heard a lot of people speaking it. Hopefully I'll learn it in the future. I also noticed many paraguayans mixing both Spanish and Guarani.

In Amazonia (former Grão Pará colony) there is a language called Nheengatu (Yẽgatu), which was, in the colonial period, the language spoken by the majority of amazonians until the end of XIX, when Portuguese became the main language (due to annexation by Brazilian Empire). Despite the geographical distance, Nheengatu is a bit similar to Guarani (both are Tupi-Guarani). Nowadays Nheengatu is an endangered language with some thousands of native speakers. The difference between Nheengatu and Guarani is like the difference between English and Dutch (or German) - Nheengatu is a quite analytical language and simplified like English.
In Paraguayan Guaraní "ñe'ẽngatu" means "chatterbox", "a person that can't stop talking". But the word was colonized (as many words in Guaraní). Originally it means "speaking strength, wisdom and kindness". It is one of the names given to the Guarani language.

Another reason it survived from what I have read and heard was that the Guarani people who were enemies of the Incan Empire in Peru were allied with the Spanish against them. This lead the to Spanish having a more lax attitude to the language,
