Mbya Guarani is a Tupi–Guarani Indigenous language of the southern cone.
It is 75% lexically similar to Paraguayan Guarani.
[citation needed] Mbya is closely connected to Ava Guarani, also known as Ñandeva, and intermarriage between speakers of the two languages is common.
Speakers of Mbya and Ñandeva generally live in mountainous areas of the Atlantic Forest, from eastern Paraguay through Misiones Province of Argentina, Uruguay to the southern Brazilian states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul.
