THE LANGUAGE OF MEXICO

Spanish is the main language in Mexico due to the fact that the Spaniards managed to dominate Mesoamerica politically and economically for many years before Mexico’s independence. However, Mexico has managed to retain a remarkable number of indigenous languages. Mexico is home to over 60 living indigenous languages.

Spanish , also known as Castilian, is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. When pronouncing words in Spanish, you will need to take into account the accents found in a word. The accents indicate which syllable to emphasize. Additionally, in Spanish words that have letter “n” or “s” at the end stress the last syllable. Words that end in a vowel or the letters “n” and “s” emphasize the next to last syllable. Also, keep an eye out for words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings depending on whether or not they have an accent.
