Paraguay - Statistics & Facts
Unlike most other Latin American countries, where indigenous languages have faded away, Paraguay maintains a rare form of bilingualism. Its population speaks both Spanish and GuaranÃ. This cultural duality is a defining feature of the country, reflecting centuries of indigenous resistance. However, the country's societal evolution has not been without turbulence. The country experienced conflict and authoritarianism until the 1990s. Since then, its transition to democracy has been rocky, marked by the assassination of a vice president, a presidential resignation, and an attempted coup.
