chorote

The Chorote are an Indigenous people of the Gran Chaco. Most live in northeastern Salta Province in Argentina and western Paraguay, particularly in the region of the Pilcomayo River; their historical range also extended into southeastern Bolivia. The name encompasses the closely related Iyojwaʼajaʼ, Iyoʼawujwaʼ and Manjui populations. Their speech varieties constitute the Chorote branch of the Mataguayan language family.
