History of Guarani
Guarani was spoken by the Guarani people throughout South America before European contact. Spanish Jesuit missions helped preserve and spread the language during the colonial era. Today, 90% of Paraguayans speak Guarani, and it became co-official with Spanish in 1992. It's one of the few indigenous American languages gaining speakers.
Is Guarani Hard to Learn?
Guarani has complex verb morphology with many affixes and nasal vowels that can be challenging. The agglutinative structure packs much meaning into single words. However, pronunciation is regular and many Spanish-Guarani bilinguals exist as learning resources.
