Tupi–Guarani ( pronunciation ) is the name of the most widely distributed subfamily of the Tupian languages of South America. It includes fifty languages, including the best-known languages of the family, Guarani and Old Tupi.

The words petunia, jaguar, tapioca, jacaranda, anhinga, carioca, and capoeira are of Tupi–Guarani origin.

**Not listed in Rodrigues & Cabral

Karipuna language (Amapá) may be spurious.
