There are about 370 speakers in Paraguay^[1] and 8 in Bolivia.^{[citation needed]} Of the 650 in Paraguay, approximately 480 are considered monolingual.^{[citation needed]} These speakers in Paraguay only refer to themselves as Manjui or Inkijwas. They refer to the Chorote residing in Argentina asIyoʼawujwaʼ (those who sayʼawujwaʼ), though some who reside with these people in Argentina have migrated from Paraguay. Most of the Manjui under 40 years old can read and write in their own language and were taught in their own schools. The principal location of these people is a settlement called Santa Rosa, in the province of Boquerón. Other locations include Mcal. Estigarribia, Pedro P. Peña, and Yakaquash.
