Spanish term

yopara?

Non-PRO Spanish to Guarani Other
Actually I don't want it translated, I just need confirmation of the spelling of the Spanish word. The context is a Paraguayan speaking about his having grown up with both the castellano and guarani languages. I don't have a transcript of his talk -- the word I'm having difiiculty with obviously denotes a more colloquial version of guarani but I can't find anything resembling my phonetic spelling (yopara? jopara? llopara?) in my Spanish dictionary. So: does anyone know of a word for colloquial guarani that sounds like this?
