Me and
gooooyaffa were discussing the word 'orange' and it's history, and so we'd like to know how those of you who speak South American varieties of Spanish pronounce the words for orange: the color, the tree, and the fruit. They're probably similar, but for consistency's sake I thought I'd ask for all. IPA preferable, but feel free to describe it

About the question, in guarani we have the aspired sound of "H" like the chi in greek (kh) , written with the letter "H", so the word naranja is borrowed from spanish, but written in the guarani alphabet. NA-RAN-HA instead of naranja.
The"ĝ" denotes a nasal sound in the pronunciation, so the sound of the guttural consonant of (kh), when nasal, becomes (g:).
"Mata" means tree, or bush in spanish.
So naranja mata is an orange tree.
For the color in paraguay we say "naranjado" or "anaranjado"
