Eastern Bolivian Guaraní is known in Argentina as Western Argentine Guaraní, while in Paraguay it is locally known as Ñandeva. (However, outside of Paraguay and specifically in Brazil, Nhandeva refers to Chiripá Guaraní. ) Eastern Bolivian Guaraní is one of a number of varieties of the Guaraní language sometimes considered distinct languages. Of these, Paraguayan Guaraní is by far the most important variety and it is often referred to simply as Guaraní. For more information, see Guaraní language.
