Documentation

Guachi is known only from 145 words collected by Francis de Castelnau from March to early April 1845 in the Miranda area of Argentina.[2][3]

Classification

Viegas Barros (2004) proposes that Guachi, as well as Payaguá, may be a Macro-Guaicurúan language.[3] However, Campbell (2012) classifies Guachi as a language isolate.[4]
