Abstract

Paraguay is historically a plurilingual country that became Guarani monolingual with a small Spanish-speaking elite that imposed Spanish, the language of the colonizers, as the language of the State. Currently, the country is officially Guarani-Spanish bilingual since 1992, but the first official recognition of the Guarani language occurred during the Stroessner dictatorship in 1967. Through the theoretical-methodological apparatus of Bernard Spolsky, language policies during the Stroessner dictatorship were analyzed, observing the management, practices and linguistic values ​​in question. What is perceived is the political instrumentalization of the defense of the Guarani language associated with a conservative nationalism exalted by the dictatorial government that little changes the concrete situation of Guarani speakers and diglossic linguistic ideologies.
