What are Paraguay's official languages?

Paraguay has two official languages: Spanish and Guaraní.12

While Spanish is the primary language utilized in government and business, Guaraní is spoken by a vast majority of the population and serves as a vital marker of national identity. The status of Guaraní as an official language was formally established in the country's 1992 constitution, and it has been used as a language of instruction in schools since 1996. Many Paraguayans are bilingual, and the constitution also recognizes other Indigenous languages as part of the nation's cultural heritage.132
