The official languages of Paraguay are Spanish and Guarani.

Spanish is from the colonial period, where Spain controlled what is now Paraguay.

Guarani, on the other hand, is a massive macrolanguage (essentially a grouping of multiple dialects). It is an indigenous language that has survived mostly because the Jesuit Priests decided to use it to spread Catholicism to the natives.
