覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Guarani は南米の民族名と、その人々の言語名の両方に使われる。まず「パラグアイの公用語の一つ」という事実を核にし、speak Guarani、the Guarani language、Guarani people の組み合わせで覚える。言語名としては通常、英語で大文字の Guarani と書く。
Connect Guarani first with Paraguay, where it is an official language and is widely spoken alongside Spanish. Then remember its two related uses: Guarani can identify the language, as in “speak Guarani” or “the Guarani language,” and it can identify the Indigenous people, as in “the Guarani people.” This language-and-people pattern also occurs with names such as Maori. Because it is a proper name, Guarani normally begins with a capital letter in English.

guarani の語源・成り立ち Etymology
南米先住民グアラニー族の自称に由来する。guarini（戦士）が語源とされ、彼らの言語と民族名の両方を指す。スペイン植民地時代に広まり、現在もパラグアイの公用語である。関連語: Paraguayan（パラグアイの）。
The English name Guarani came through Spanish and Portuguese from the name used for an Indigenous people of South America. It consequently developed two closely connected uses, referring both to the people and to their language. The name has sometimes been linked with a Guarani word associated with warriors, but the deeper analysis is not fully certain. In modern English, the proper name is normally capitalized.
