About Mexican Spanish
Mexican Spanish is the variety of Spanish spoken chiefly in Mexico, part of the Romance branch of the Indo-European language family. It is also widely used in Mexican communities abroad, especially in the United States. Estimates usually place the number of speakers at around 130 million. It is written with the Latin alphabet and follows the general orthographic conventions shared across the Spanish-speaking world.
A well-known feature is the widespread use of ustedes for the second-person plural, where Spain commonly uses vosotros in informal contexts. Mexican Spanish also preserves many words of Indigenous origin, especially from Nahuatl, including everyday terms such as chocolate, tomate, and coyote. In literature, Mexico is closely associated with major Spanish-language writers including Octavio Paz, whose work helped give Mexican Spanish a prominent place in modern world literature.
