Paraguay · Ciudad del Este-Foz do Iguaçu

The triple-frontier zone around Ciudad del Este, Foz do Iguaçu, and Puerto Iguazú layers Portuguese-Spanish contact on top of Paraguay's existing Guaraní-Spanish bilingualism, producing a three-way contact variety that is less codified than the more stabilized Rivera-Livramento DPU further south.
