Caipiras (pronounced [kaiˈpi.ɹas] in Caipira dialect) are the traditional population of the Brazilian states of São Paulo, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Paraná. All the regions where Caipira culture predominates are grouped into a cultural area, known since the 20th century as Paulistania.[1][2]

The first Caipiras were the Bandeirantes, who received this name from the Guaianás, an indigenous people who inhabited the Medio Tietê region, in the interior of São Paulo.[3][4] During the period of the Colonial Brazil, the Caipiras were speakers of the Paulista general language, today a dead language; currently, they have their own dialect, which preserves elements of this language and Medieval Galician.[5] The Caipira and its culture is considered by intellectuals as an evolution of the old Paulista society and the Bandeirante culture.[6][7]
