Yshyr

The Yshyr, also known as Chamacoco, inhabit the northern Chaco and the upper Paraguay River. Their language belongs to the Zamucoan family. Among their communities, the Ybytoso lived along the river, while the Tomáraho traditionally made their home in the forest farther inland. Yshyr oral tradition recalls communities in several places along the upper Paraguay and movements away from the river during conflicts with the Caduveo.
