In Paraguay, both Spanish and Guaraní serve as official languages. While Spanish is the primary language used in government and business, a majority of the population speaks Guaraní. Since 1996, Guaraní has been used as a language of instruction in schools. Many Paraguayans are bilingual, speaking both Spanish and Guaraní. The constitution also recognizes other Indigenous languages as part of the country’s heritage.
