It's a good thing that the Paraguayans who are mixed are still speaking their indigenous tongue unlike other Latin Americans who are mixed

Long live the Guarani language. Speak your mother and father language. It's the sacred tongue of your ancestors.
I like listening to Native American languages.

Found out the english words cougar, toucan, tapioca and jaguar can be traced to Guaraní roots.

Also found out that Guarani was made official next to Spanish and Portuguese in the South American Mercosur trading organization.
