====Brazilians in Paraguay (Brasiguayos)==== | |||
*'''Brasiguaio (Portuguese) or brasiguayo (Spanish)''' is a term referring to '''Brazilian migrants in Paraguay and their descendants'''. The word Brasiguaio has been used by members within and outside this group to categorize individuals whose lives are connected with both Brazil and Paraguay, and more specifically to refer to Brazilians who live or have lived in Paraguay. | |||
The origins of Brasiguayos are ''''from the three states of the South Region of Brazil, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. Most Brasiguayos are mainly ethnically White of German, Italian, and Polish descent.''' | |||
*They typically live in the '''Southeastern Paraguayan departments of Canindeyú and Alto Paraná, which border with Brazil'''. Most emigrated from Brazil by the 1960s. In total they make up 455,000 Brasiguaios as of 2001, or about one-tenth of Paraguay's population. | |||
*In some border zones, Brasiguayos and their descendants are more than 90% of the population, where Portuguese is still spoken as the mother tongue. In '''San Alberto de Mbaracayú city''', approximately 80% of its 23,000 inhabitants are of Brazilian ancestry. <ref>"Brasiguayos", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasiguayos, accessed 19 May 2021.</ref> | |||
