what is the most spoken language in mexico
Languages of Mexico Many different languages are spoken in Mexico. They are from seven distinct language families and there are two isolates. The total of languages amounts to around 68 and 350 dialects, with a large majority of the population fluent in Spanish while some Indigenous Mexicans are monolingual in indigenous languages. Today, Mexicans predominantly speak Spanish.
Languages of South America Spanish is the majority language of South America, by a small margin. Portuguese, with slightly fewer speakers than Spanish, is the second most spoken language on the continent.
Spanish language It is estimated that more than 437 million people speak Spanish as a native language, which qualifies it as second on the lists of languages by number of native speakers.[22] Instituto Cervantes claims that there are an estimated 477 million Spanish speakers with native competence and 572 million Spanish speakers as a first or second language—including speakers with limited competence—and more than 21 million students of Spanish as a foreign language.[23]
New Mexico The original state constitution of 1912 provided for a bilingual government with laws being published in both English and Spanish;[59] this requirement was renewed twice, in 1931 and 1943.[60] Nonetheless, the constitution does not declare any language as "official."[61] While Spanish was permitted in the legislature until 1935, all state officials are required to have a good knowledge of English. Cobarrubias and Fishman therefore argue that New Mexico cannot be considered a bilingual state as not all laws are published in both languages.[60] Others, such as Juan Perea, claim that the state was officially bilingual until 1953.[62] In either case, Hawaii is the only state that remains officially bilingual in the 21st century.[63]
