MEXICO DOES NOT HAVE JUST ONE LANGUAGE. THE MAIN LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN MEXICO IS SPANISH, WHICH CAME FROM SPAIN DURING SPANISH

COLONIZATION IN THE 1500S.

BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE SPANISH, MANY INDIGENOUS GROUPS ALREADY LIVED IN MEXICO AND SPOKE THEIR OWN NATIVE LANGUAGES SUCH AS: NAHUATL - SPOKEN BY THE AZTECS

SPOKEN BY THE MAYA

TODAY, MEXICO RECOGNIZES SPANISH AND MORE THAN 60 INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES AS PART OF ITS CULTURAL HERITAGE. MANY MEXICAN WORDS USED WORLDWIDE, LIKE CHOCOLATE. TOMATO, AND AVOCADO, ACTUALLY CAME FROM THE INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE NAHUATL.
