Guaraní is a native South American language belonging to the Tupí-Guaraní subgroup under the Tupian languages. It is spoken by approximately 4.6 million people, most of whom live in Paraguay where it also serves as an official language along with Spanish. Other small communities of Guarani speakers can be found in Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. Tomedes has been working towards meeting Guarani translation demands through professional translators working in many languages along with Guarani.

• Guarani is an Amerind language which has existed in Paraguay along with Spanish for more than four hundred years. This has resulted in it absorbing a considerable amount of words from Spanish.
  

• Guarani is spoken in a variety of dialects many of which have been now classified as independent languages in their own right, these are - Paraguayan Guaraní, Western Argentine Guaraní or Eastern Bolivian, Chiripá and Mbyá Guaraní.
  

• Paraguayan Guaraní is the most important dialect of Guarani and hence it is also referred to only as Guarani.
  

• An interesting facet of Guarani language is that it’s the sole indigenous language spoken in the Americas which has a substantially large number of non-indigenous speakers. This is quite unconventional as normally there is an inclination among the local population towards speaking the relatively prestigious official languages like Spanish in the case of Paraguay. 
  

• Antonio Ruiz de Montoya a Jesuit priest wrote a book “Tesoro de la lengua guaraní” which means the treasure of the Guarani language, concluded that Guarani was such an abundant and elegant language that it could stand in competition with the most famous and popular languages.
  

• Guarani existed as a spoken language for a very long time and made the transition to being a written language fairly recently. The Guarani alphabet has been derived from Latin alphabet. Its orthography is mostly phonemic and the letter values are identical to that of Spanish. 
  

• The language permits usage of only those syllables that have a vowel or consonant combined with a vowel. Syllables that end with a consonant or even two or more consonants are not permitted. 
  

• The pure form of Guarani language does not use any definite articles or gender. 
  

• English vocabulary has a number of words which originated in Guarani, for example, piranha (from pira aña), jaguar (from jaguarete), agouti (akuti) and tapir (tapira) among others. The names Paraguay and Uruguay have themselves originated from the Guarani language.
