The term Brasiguaio (Portuguese) or brasiguayo (Spanish) is associated to individuals holding ties with Brazil and Paraguay. It is commonly used by members within and outside this group when referring to Brazilian migrants in Paraguay and their descendants, and Brazilians who lived for a long period in Paraguay and then returned to Paraguay.[1] In Paraguay, it is attributed to Brazilian and their descendants living in the Southeastern Paraguayan departments of Canindeyú and Alto Paraná, which border with Brazil.[2] Most of them emigrated from Brazil by the 1960s stimulated by the Paraguayan government seeking to develop its bordering region with Brazil through agricultural production[3]
In total they make up 455,000 Brasiguaios as of 2001[update], or about one-tenth of Paraguay's population.
In some border zones, Brasiguayos and their descendants are more than 90% of the population, where Portuguese is still spoken as the mother tongue.[4] In San Alberto de Mbaracayú city, approximately 80% of its 23,000 inhabitants are of Brazilian ancestry. The origins of Brasiguaios are said to be mostly from the three states of the South Region of Brazil in proximity to Paraguay, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. Most Brasiguayos are mainly ethnically White of German, Italian, and Polish descent.[5][6]
