 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Guarani Indians
The Guaraní are best known for their connection to the early Jesuit missions of Paraguay, the most notable mission foundation ever established in America, and for their later heroic resistance -- as the State of Paraguay, against the combined powers of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay -- until practically all their able-bodied men had been exterminated.
But while the Guaraní missions grew and multiplied the slave raiders were on the watch and saw in them "merely an opportunity of capturing more Indians than usual at a haul" and as "nest of hawks, looked at their neophytes as pigeons, ready fattening for their use" (Graham).
Nearly all the forest tribes on the borders of Paraguay are of Guaraní stock; many of them are descendants of mission exiles, while in Paraguay the old blood so predominates in the population that Guaraní is still largely the language of the population.

 Chácore purahéi (Vortrag)
Por la misma razón digo cultura paraguaya de expresión guaraní, sobre todo para evitar el término cultura guaraní que con una intención claramente ideológica-nacionalista a menudo se utiliza como sinónimo de cultura paraguaya.
A esta "táctica" se suma el grado de presencia que tiene cualquier narrativa en guaraní, pues el tiempo gramatical del relato es generalmente el presente; los sufijos del pasado solo se emplean para insistir en lo remoto de una acción y lógicamente se omiten en este texto.
Lo más llamativo es tal vez que el pueblo paraguayo aparezca en el disfraz metafórico una tribu de indios guaraníes bastante salvajes (iñarõva), mientras que la misma condición de indios bárbaros (ava) es un pretexto para denigrar a los pueblos-"tribus" vecinos con los que se está en pie de guerra.

La literatura en guaraní constituye evidentemente la "variante baja", de menos prestigio, y normalmente sólo merece una consideración marginal o queda totalmente excluida de la mayoría de las "historias de la literatura paraguaya".
XIX el discurso de la raza guaraní y del mestizaje armónico se transforma en un hilo conductor de la reflexión ensayística sobre la identidad nacional y adquiere un carácter claramente político e ideológico.
Las vierte en un guaraní popular que se averigua como su forma de expresión idónea porque resucita automáticamente las estructuras y valores sociales de la cultura guerrera y ancestral de donde habrían surgido.

 Guaraní Dictionary
I had high hopes that this dictionary might include useful phrases for learning some of the basics of Guaraní communication, but, unfortunately, the dictionary only consists of single lexical entries, identified by part of speech, and primarily glossed with one or two entries from the other language.
That, along with the nasalized vowels must give it a particularly nasal/whiney sound, and is perhaps the reason why the Chilean lady told me that Guaraní is the greatest language on earth for expressing love (the dictionary does list a number of nouns and verbs for 'love' and 'lover').
I suspect that the 'r' is a true 'flapped r' in Guaraní, sounding like the middle sound in the word "butter" in standard American English.

a people living in the eastern lowland area of South America, related to the Tupí of the Rio São Francisco and the Guaraní of Paraguay and adjacent portions of Brazil and Argentina.
Although the name originally applied to only one out of a number of culturally related native groups, it has been used more inclusively in recent years, to denote the Guaraní, Caeté, Potiguara, and the original Tupinambá.
At the time of the Spanish conquest (16th cent.), the various groups had migrated through the Amazon basin as far as Bolivia, and lived in settlements consisting of four to eight large communal dwellings, each of which accommodated 100 to 200 people organized into 30 to 60 extended patrilineal families.
