Tupi-Guarani is a language family spread across Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina; Guaraní is an official language of Paraguay and spoken by most of its population. Tupi words are embedded throughout Brazilian Portuguese and across the map of Brazil. As given names, Jaci (moon), Iara (water lady) and Potira (flower) have been revived as part of a wider reclaiming of indigenous heritage.
