1. Idiomas:<\/strong>\u00a0Paraguay es uno de los pocos pa\u00edses sudamericanos que han conservado su lengua ind\u00edgena (el guaran\u00ed) como lengua oficial. El guaran\u00ed es una lengua onomatop\u00e9yica, lo que significa que est\u00e1 compuesta por palabras sonoras (es decir, palabras formadas imitando sonidos naturales). Casi toda la poblaci\u00f3n de Paraguay entiende y habla espa\u00f1ol, pero prefiere hablar guaran\u00ed.<\/p>\n

2. Nombre:<\/strong>\u00a0El origen del nombre \"Paraguay\" es incierto; algunos creen que proviene de una tribu que viv\u00eda a orillas del r\u00edo Paraguay, mientras que otros sostienen que tiene un significado ling\u00fc\u00edstico similar a \"el r\u00edo que va al mar\" (o algo parecido).<\/p>\n

3. Chaco:<\/strong>\u00a0Aunque la parte occidental del pa\u00eds (coloquialmente conocida como \"Chaco\") representa 60% de la superficie total de Paraguay, s\u00f3lo alrededor del 2% de la poblaci\u00f3n vive aqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n

4. Etnia:<\/strong>\u00a0Los paraguayos son principalmente una mezcla de espa\u00f1oles e ind\u00edgenas guaran\u00edes. De todos los pa\u00edses de Sudam\u00e9rica, la poblaci\u00f3n paraguaya es la m\u00e1s homog\u00e9nea racialmente.<\/p>\n

5. Bebida nacional:<\/strong>\u00a0La bebida nacional de Paraguay es un tipo especial de t\u00e9 llamado \"mate\", que tambi\u00e9n se encuentra en muchos otros pa\u00edses del mundo (incluidos varios pa\u00edses sudamericanos).<\/p>\n

\"Dato:
Atribuci\u00f3n: Rep\u00fablica del Paraguay - Wikipedia.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dato: La bandera de Paraguay es especial porque tiene s\u00edmbolos diferentes en cada cara. En el anverso (arriba) est\u00e1 el escudo del pa\u00eds y en el reverso (abajo) el logotipo del Ministerio de Hacienda paraguayo.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. El roedor m\u00e1s grande:<\/strong>\u00a0El mayor roedor del mundo, el carpincho (o \"cerdo de r\u00edo\", como tambi\u00e9n se le conoce), vive en los r\u00edos de Paraguay y otros pa\u00edses sudamericanos. Los carpinchos m\u00e1s pesados jam\u00e1s registrados pesaban 73,5 kg (un macho de Paraguay) y 91 kg (una hembra de Brasil).<\/p>\n

7. Jesuitas:<\/strong>\u00a0En el siglo XVIII, muchos jesuitas se instalaron en Paraguay para convertir a la poblaci\u00f3n al cristianismo, lo que hicieron con \u00e9xito hasta que los espa\u00f1oles los expulsaron del pa\u00eds en 1767.<\/p>\n

8. Guerras:<\/strong>\u00a0La Guerra de la Triple Alianza, de 1865 a 1870, sigue presente en la mente de los paraguayos. La guerra se cobr\u00f3 la vida de alrededor de 90% de la poblaci\u00f3n masculina adulta en su lucha contra Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay por el acceso al mar. En la d\u00e9cada de 1930, Paraguay volvi\u00f3 a estar en guerra, esta vez contra Bolivia, lo que -junto con la Guerra de la Triple Alianza- ayuda a explicar la densidad de poblaci\u00f3n relativamente baja (unos 16 habitantes por km2).<\/p>\n

9. D\u00edas festivos:<\/strong>\u00a0Paraguay se independiz\u00f3 de Espa\u00f1a el 15 de mayo de 1811, por lo que cada a\u00f1o se celebra el D\u00eda de la Independencia. Adem\u00e1s, el 1 de marzo se celebra el \"D\u00eda de los H\u00e9roes\", que conmemora el final de la Guerra de la Triple Alianza, y el 12 de junio, que se\u00f1ala el final de la guerra contra Bolivia. El 30 de abril es tambi\u00e9n el D\u00eda del Maestro, en el que los profesores del pa\u00eds, como su nombre indica, se toman el d\u00eda libre.<\/p>\n

10. Bandera:<\/strong>\u00a0Paraguay obtuvo su bandera actual el 27 de noviembre de 1842. La bandera tiene tres franjas horizontales (roja, blanca y azul), pero es muy especial porque los s\u00edmbolos en sus dos lados no son iguales; en el anverso est\u00e1 el escudo de armas de Paraguay rodeado por el texto \"REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY\", mientras que el reverso est\u00e1 adornado con el s\u00edmbolo del Ministerio de Hacienda del pa\u00eds y rodeado por el texto \"Paz y Justicia\".<\/p>\n

Realidad: El carpincho, el roedor m\u00e1s grande del mundo, es originario de Paraguay (y de algunos otros pa\u00edses sudamericanos). El mayor carpincho macho registrado pesaba 73,5 kg y proced\u00eda de Paraguay.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
