+The Constitution of Paraguay of 1992 declares it as a multicultural and bilingual country, recognizing Spanish and Guaraní as official languages.<br>
+Spanish is understood by about 90% of the population as a first or second language.<br>
+Guaraní, an indigenous language of the Tupian family, is comprehended by 77%, and its use is controlled by the Academy of the Guaraní Language. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Languages of Paraguay," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Paraguay, accessed 16 May 2023.</ref>
