The Guarani languages are:
- Guarani dialect chain: Western Bolivian Guarani (Simba), Eastern Bolivian Guarani (Chawuncu; Ava, Tapieté dialects), Paraguayan Guaraní (Guarani), Correntine Guarani (Taragui), Chiripá Guaraní (Nhandéva, Avá), Mbyá Guaraní (Mbya)[1]
- Kaiwá (Paí Tavyterá dialect)
- Aché (Guayaki) (several dialects)
- ? Xetá
The varieties of Guarani proper and Kaiwá have limited mutual intelligibility. Aché and Guarani are not mutually intelligible.[2] The position of Xetá is unclear.
