Spanish is the only official language of Paraguay.

REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 8 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Spanish is the only official language of Paraguay?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that Paraguay's 1992 Constitution makes both Spanish and Guaraní official languages, so Spanish is not the sole official language.
