Mexican Spanish is the
Spanish language as spoken in
Mexico.As a result of Mexico City's central role in the colonial administration of New Spain, the population of the city included relatively large numbers of speakers from
Spain. Mexico City (
Tenochtitlán) had also been the capital of the
Aztec Empire, and many speakers of the Aztec language
Nahuatl continued to live there and in the surrounding region, outnumbering the Spanish-speakers for several generations. Consequently, Mexico City tended historically to exercise a standardizing effect over the entire country, more or less, evolving into a distinctive dialect of
Spanish which incorporated a significant number of hispanicized Nahuatl words.
