the most spoken language besides Spanish is the language known as Nahuatle. About 1.5 million Mexican citizens speak this language. Not to many people are able to speak the original language known as classical Nahuatle.
The third most spoken language in Mexico is Yucatec Maya. This language goes back to before the times of the Aztec empire who spoke Nuhatle. This ancient language is commonly herd through the Mexican Yucatan, Campeche, and Qiuntana Roo. This is one of three Mayan languages. This one is unique in that the use of tone is applied to distinguish nouns and vowels
These are just two examples of Mexico's Divers languages and history. Many more are also commonly used all over Mexico; however recently there has been a decrease in the amount of people that are still practising the ancient languages.
