The Guaraní are heterogeneous wide-ranging groups inhabiting sub-tropical regions from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean. The Guaraní language includes a variety of dialects. In the seventeenth century, Catholic missionaries used the Guaraní language to communicate with indigenous peoples throughout South America's lowlands. The Guaraní migrated out of the Amazon Basin onto the Paraná plateau early in their history. At the time of the Spanish arrival there were over a million Guaraní in small communities throughout South America's southern cone, albeit in the ensuing years that population was greatly reduced.
