{{avoided double redirect|Culture of Paraguay}}
The '''culture of Paraguay''' dates back to the extensive marriage of ] men and ] women. Paraguayan culture is a fusion of two cultures and traditions, which are the European and the Guaraní one of central ]. It is estimated that 63% of Paraguayans are ] and the remaining group is divided into ], however, Paraguay is one of the most homogeneous countries in terms of culture. A characteristic of this cultural fusion is extensive bilingualism to this day, since around 85% of Paraguayans speak Spanish and Guaraní, Yopará, a mixture of Spanish with Guaraní, is also widely spoken.

Family interests largely determine which political party they will join to, who they will marry, what kind of job they will get, or if someone will win a ], and -in some cases- it would be wise for them to emigrate for a time. Paraguayan society is characterized by its comfort and openness to tourists and foreigners. Within the family, conservative values predominate, while in the lower classes, godparents have a special relationship with the family, since they are chosen due to their favorable social position, in order to provide greater security for the godchildren. They are given particular respect in exchange for the family being able to expect protection and patronage.
