Spanish control of Mexico led to the dominance of Spanish, the official language. As many as 100 Native American languages are still spoken in Mexico, but no single alternative language prevails. Eighty % of those Mexicans who speak an indigenous language also speak Spanish. The most valuable of the Native American languages is Nahuatl. It is the primary language of more than a million Mexicans and is spoken by nearly one-fourth of all Native Americans in the nation. This is followed by Maya, used by 14 % of Native Americans, and Mixteco and Zapoteco, each spoken by about seven % of Native Americans. No other indigenous language is spoken by more than five % of Mexico’s Native Americans. See also Native American Languages.
