PY — Paraguay

Paraguay is a landlocked South American country between Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia. Asunción, the capital, is one of the oldest cities in South America. Paraguay is unique in Latin America for having a widely spoken indigenous language — Guaraní is an official language spoken by about 90% of the population alongside Spanish. The Paraguayan Guaraní (PYG) has no subdivision and uses very large numbers for everyday prices. For developers, the PY country code maps to es-PY for Paraguayan Spanish and gn-PY for Guaraní. The .py domain is particularly notable in the developer community as it coincidentally matches the Python programming language file extension. The +595 dialing code serves Paraguay. The PYG currency operates without decimals and with values in the thousands, requiring applications to handle large numbers and format them with appropriate thousand separators. Paraguay's bilingual Guaraní-Spanish reality makes it a fascinating case for Latin American localization.
