Paraguayans: The World's Weirdest Latinos

"Hispanic nation that doesn't speak spanish". We speak spanish AND guarani, that is what bilinguism means...

We had a paraguyan exchange student in Germany once. His name was Axel, he came from a village where everybody spoke German and was more German than anyone of us. He even had this traditional thick accent which was amazing to listen to. Come to think of it, Every paraguyan I've ever met spoke fluent German.

My girlfriend is from Paraguay. She speaks 4 languages: Guaraní, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. German and Italian are also spoken in her family. She’s mostly indigenous, African and European. She is the kindest woman I’ve ever been with.

Cursing in guaraní is as strong as doing it in german, sounds so rough. But you can say the most beautiful things too, it's a very emotional and expressive language.

I got here because I want to know why I'm the weirdest latino

Fun Fact: When the Paraguayan national soccer team plays the players speak in Guarani and not spanish

Half Korean & Half Paraguayan here! I'm so surprised that someone actually makes videos about paraguay, I feel like Paraguayans are one of the forgotten Latinos haha, I don't know any other paraguayans except for my mom and her family, since my mom is Paraguayan. Most Latinos I have met are Mexicans. Edit: thanks for uploading this video, this really means a lot to me.

As a paraguayan myself, I thank you for getting this out there. I think 95% or so of this is actually correct. For people reading this and interested to know, Paraguay is a beautiful country filled with mostly loving, nice and friendly people, but has the highest rate of curruption in America for a country that's not ruled by dictatorship. That makes this a country really full of injustice, social inequality and class struggles. I personally am proud of our history and ashamed of our present.

I love how there's just a random area in the middle of the jungle with a 9% german speaking population

Love Paraguay. I have been living there for over fifteen years (on and off); well I have to my wife is Paraguayan 8-). And if you don't want to get stopped by the traffic police, don't drive an expensive car. The strangest thing about Paraguayans is that they eat their empanadas in a bread roll! And the best thing is caña, fried mandioca and pajagua mascada! Oh, and cocido - love the drink. I have ten kilos of Yerba Pajarito to make it.

I visited Paraguay once and I found that this country is not only beautiful, it has also great and friendly people. If you have a chance to go there, don't think twice, is a wonderful place. 🇵🇾

Hi, dyed-in-the-wool Paraguayan from Asunción here. Thanks for your video. Some random trivia: After Guarani and Spanish, the third most spoken language here is German. In Asunción there is a high degree of street with names of Russian people. That is because a lot of White Russian officers fought (gallantly and bravely, I might add) for Paraguay and became war heroes. We have perhaps the world´s best cattle beef. We are a subtropical country but our cuisine has the calories for perhaps working in Norway or Finland during the winter. Yes, they are caloric bombs... Come visit us!

I wish i could speak guarani fluently. I only know bits and pieces that i used a lot in my everyday speech but i could not, for the love of me, say a whole sentence in guarani. Also, cursing in guarani is an art

I only have ever met one person of Paraguayan descent. A blonde haired blue eyed woman with a German last name

I am a Bangladeshi. But I am living in Paraguay very happily and harmoniously for last 8 years. Here people are very good and friendly. Here people speak Spanish and Portuguese when they meet others. They speak guarani when they communicate paraguayan.

Paraguay has a border with three countries, Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. In the war of the triple alliance we were attacked by Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay and after 62 years we were attacked by Bolivia, that is, all our neighbors tried to exterminate us... and we are still alive and kicking

All Paraguayans I have met spoke perfect Spanish.

Paraguay is the only country where the traffic police stops you in 3 different languages saying the most horrific sentence you can hear "ndoikoi la nde luz de stop" using the three lenguages just to say your stop light doesn't work jajaja

Hi, there! I'm a Paraguayan living in NY. Embogueeee! 🇵🇾✨

Insightful documentary, but you forgot to mention the Japanese immigration and their contribution to the development of agriculture in Paraguay...
