Description
software used (GIMP)I started in Brazil which forced me to expand to some neighboring countries. It was not easy and quite incomplete.
First, what I have represented here are linguistic groups and not actually native languages.
About Tupi, Tupi-Guarani and Guarani is what I find more information in Portuguese, even having a dictionary: www.dicionariotupiguarani.com.…
But I could not find the difference between these three groups and I put everything in Tupi, since that's what I found the regions where the speakers of these languages inhabit (I research this in part of my free time, so I do not have much time to do more detailed research).
In Jê I had another problem, I did not find any dictionary of Jê, but I found an article from Caingangue, a people of the linguistic family of Jês:
www.portalkaingang.org/lgua_ka…
Then I put NGOI as being water in Jés, but the Pataxós are of the macro-jê and their word for water is Minhanga according to this site:
www.indiosonline.net/linguisti…
Arawaks I found some words on this site, but I do not know exactly which region speaks what word and I put the two Uini and Vinabu
www.native-languages.org/arawa…
Already from the Cariban trunk I found several words, but the one I found most common among them is this, Tuna and I put it.
www.native-languages.org/famil…
There are other independent languages, but there are many, and I can not put them in a first version of this map
Basically, so far:
Tupi (Guarani? Tupi-Guarani?): Y, or Ty (I saw also Î)
Jê (Macro Jê?): Ngoi (Kaningang), Minhanga (Pataxós)
Arawaks: Uini, Vinabu
Cariban: Tuna (some variations around this, such as Syna, Tunga, Kuna, Tu'na, Tona, Ga)

I want to travel to South America, but it is too far from here...

Yes, the last time I saw tickets from Rio de Janeiro to Seoul (at the time I researched this, I was practicing Hapkido and I had an interest in visiting South Korea) and the ticket price was around 1200 dollars
But I tell you that visiting South America is not such a thing. Chile is a quiet and well-developed country and is a good place to visit. I hear good things from Argentina too, but the rest. I even think it would be interesting to visit the Inca ruins in Peru and Bolivia, but violence is a solid constant on this continent.
In my country, one of the places that people from outside most want to visit, but that we natives are increasingly avoiding is Rio de Janeiro. This city lives in fact a civil war. The violence there has gone so far out of control that it has been a decade since the army does not need to be called in to aid in police operations. That year, even Rio entered a state of federal intervention and handed over command of the police operations to the army.
Even so, many people from outside visit Rio, believing it to be a paradise city.
