ASUNCIÓN, Paraguay,, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Paraguay unveiled one of the region's most ambitious cultural preservation projects with the launch of Proyecto Guaraní-Revista Ysyry, a digital archive and bilingual anthology that safeguards more than 14,000 poems, songs and writings in Guaraní, Spanish and Jopará.
Revista Ysyry, a Paraguayan literary magazine that ran from 1942 to 1995, publishing over 20,000 poems and songs in Guaraní, Spanish, and Jopará (a blend of the two languages).
The initiative, launched in 2023 and presented Monday, combines a free online library called Oremba'e, or What Is Ours, with the printed bilingual volume Che Ñe'ẽ, Che Purahei ("My word, my song"), which includes nearly 200 selected works.
The collection was entrusted to former U.S. ambassador to Paraguay James Cason, a longtime advocate of Guaraní culture.
