Tupi–Guarani (medium pink), other Tupian (violet), and probable range c. 1500 (pink-grey)

Tupi–Guarani (/tuːˈpiː ɡwɑˈrɑːni/ /ɡwɑˈɾɑ-/; Tupi-Guarani: [tuˈpi ɡwaɾaˈni];About this soundpronunciation (help·info)) is the most widely distributed subfamily of the Tupian languages of South America. It consists of about fifty languages, including Guarani and Old Tupi. The most widely spoken in modern times by far is Guarani, which is one of the two official languages of Paraguay.

The words petunia, jaguar, piranha, ipecac, tapioca, jacaranda, anhinga, carioca, and capoeira are of Tupi–Guarani origin.[citation needed]

Classification

Rodrigues & Cabral (2012)

Rodrigues & Cabral (2012) propose eight branches of Tupí–Guaraní:

  • Tupí–Guaraní
    • Guaraní (Group I)
    • Guarayu (Group II): Guarayu, Pauserna**, Sirionó (dialects: Yuqui, Jorá**)
    • Tupí (Group III): Old Tupi (lingua franca dialect: Tupí Austral), Tupinambá (dialects: Nheengatu, a.k.a. Língua Geral as lingua franca, and Potiguára), Cocama–Omagua*, Tupinikin**
    • Tenetehara (Group IV): Akwáwa (dialects: Asuriní, Suruí do Pará, Parakanã), Avá-Canoeiro, Tapirapé, Tenetehára (dialects: Guajajara, Tembé), Turiwára
    • Kawahíb (Group VI): Apiacá, Kawahíb (numerous varieties; incl. Piripkúra, Diahói?), Kayabí, Karipúna, ?Uru-Pa-In
    • Kamayurá (Group VII)
    • Xingu (Group VIIIa): Anambé (of Cairarí), Amanayé, Xingú Asuriní, Araweté, Aurá, Ararandewara
    • Northern Tupi–Guaraní (Group VIIIb): Anambé of Ehrenreich, Emerillon, Guajá, Wayampi, Zo'é, Takunyapé, Urubú–Kaapor, Wayampipukú

*Cabral argues that Kokama/Omagua is a mixed language, and so not directly classifiable, though most of its basic vocabulary is Tupi–Guarani.

**Not listed in Rodrigues & Cabral (2012)

Karipuna language (Amapá) may be spurious.

Michael, et al. (2015)

Michael, et al. (2015) propose the following classification for the Tupi–Guarani languages.

  • Tupí-Guaraní
    • Kamaiurá (600 speakers)
    • Nuclear Tupí-Guaraní
      • Northern
        • Guajá (280 speakers)
        • Ka'ápor (800 speakers)
        • Avá-Canoeiro (14 speakers)
      • Central
      • Peripheral
        • Wayampi, Emerillon (Wayampi 1,200 speakers, Emerillon 400 speakers)
        • Kayabí, Parintintin (Kayabí 1,000 speakers, Kagwahiva 870 speakers)
        • Diasporic
          • Tembé (13,000 speakers)
          • Template:Tree list/branching
            • Tupi
              • Omagua, Kokama (Omagua 10 speakers, Cocama 250 speakers)
              • Tupinambá (Nheengatu 19,000 speakers)
            • Southern
              • Sirionó, Yuki (500 speakers)
              • Guarayu, Pauserna † (Guarayu 5,900 speakers)
              • Guaranian
                • Aché (910 speakers)
                • Mbyá
                • Paraguay Guaraní (4.85 million speakers)
                • Template:Tree list/branching
                  • Xetá †, Kaiowá, Ñandeva (Kaiwá 18,000 speakers, Ava Guarani 16,000 speakers)
                  • Tapiete, Chiriguano (Chiriguano 51,000 speakers)

O'Hagan et al. (2014,[3][4] 2019) proposes that Proto-Tupi-Guarani was spoken in the region of the lower Tocantins and Xingu Rivers, just to the south of Marajó Island in eastern Pará State, Brazil. Proto-Omagua-Kokama then expanded up the Amazon River, Proto-Tupinambá expanded south along the Atlantic coast, and the Southern branch expanded up along the Tocantins/Araguaia River towards the Paraná River basin.
