The Guaraní languages are a group of half a dozen or so languages in the Tupí–Guaraní language family. The best known language in this family is Guaraní, the national language of Paraguay.

The Guaraní languages are:

Guaraní dialect chain: Western Bolivian Guaraní (Simba), Eastern Bolivian Guaraní (Chawuncu; Ava, Tapieté dialects), Paraguayan Guaraní (Guarani), Chiripá Guaraní (Nhandéva, Avá), Mbyá Guaraní (Mbya)^[1]
? Kaiwá (Paí Tavyterá dialect)
Aché (Guayaki) (several dialects)
? Xetá

The varieties of Guaraní proper and Kaiwá have limited mutual intelligibility. Aché and Guaraní are not mutually intelligible.[1] The position of Xetá is unclear.
