adj.Guarani.f. & m.Guarani, member of the Guarani Indians of Paraguay.* * *1.ADJ SMF Guarani2.SM (Ling) GuaraniGUARANÍ Guaraní is an American Indian language of the tupí-guaraní family and is widely spoken in Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia. In Paraguay it is the majority language and has equal official status with Spanish, which is spoken mainly by non-Indians. In parts of southern Brazil, tupí-guaraní is the basis for a pidgin known as Língua Geral, now losing ground to Portuguese. From guaraní and its sister dialect tupí come words like "jaguar", "tapir", "toucan" and "tapioca".* * *Iadjetivo/masculino, femenino GuaraniII •• Cultural note:The name of a people who lived between the rivers Amazon and Plate, and their language.

Guaraní was the language spoken by the main indigenous people at the time of the Spanish conquest. The process of racial mixing between Spaniard and Guarani over centuries has resulted in a population that is largely bilingual. In the major urban areas about half the population are able to use both languages freely, while in rural areas Guarani speakers predominate. Spanish is the language of the press and education, but Guarani has had a great influence on the vocabulary of Spanish speakers, and this has given rise to a so-called “guarañol”, a hybrid of both languages.* * *m FIN guaraní* * *guaraní adj & nmf: Guaraniguaraní nm: Guarani (language of Paraguay) -
