zola- I'm a beautiful latina with european ancestry. I speak both languages perfectly without an accent--love your mex. so much go back and stay there.
Lahooto- that isn't true all my latin american brothers and sister Peru, Equador, Columbia, Spaniards, Venezulans, Argentinian, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and many MORE speak correctly except these us mexicans!
pitty- The Spaniards invaded and colonized EVERY Latin American country! and we're not crying about it like the mex.
Lahi- Caribbean spanish have a different way of pronouncing they drop their s's just like east coasters- EVERY SPANISH COUNTRY HAS A DISTINCNT WAY OF SPEAKING
BUT, correct usage of simple vocabulary is BASIC- It's basic spanish period.

Guess what, we are here for opportunity. My people will learn eventually. My parents learned in time when they came to the U.S and they are now succesfull.

There are other spanish speaking Latinos to worry about. Also, check out the Spaniards. They're white and they speak Spanish. In fact, because of their conquests years ago in Latin America, Mexicans speak spanish because their ancestors were forced to learn by the Spaniards. The Spaniards were the first Spanish speakers just like the British were the first English speakers.

By the way, I'm not racist. In fact, I hope to visit Spain someday as well as Japan.

Also, not all Mexicans are brown. I'm white skinned. A lot of people have thought that I'm not Mexican until I start talking like one.

By the way, I learned in James Clavell's Shogun that language is the key to survival in any country.

VIVA LA RAZA!
By the way, I was born an American citizen thus making me Mexican-American. I'm not an immigrant. My parents have been American citizens for 4 or 5 years now. I helped them study for their exams.

In 711 , when the Berber and Arab moors invaded , did the Spaniards already speak Spanish or did they speak any other language like Latin ?

funny, isn't it?? Mexicans never had their own language, they speak Spanish, but sometimes my friends see some Latinos talking to each other in Spanish and then they whisper "listen, isn't it Mexican? It sounds like they speak Mexican. They look like they are Mexican." And I was like "Is Mexican a language???"

my other question is why do some people think all Spaniards speak Spanish?
I have no idea. Once me and a friend were talking with a tourist and at the end we asked him "were are you from?" he said he was from Spain, and my friend automatically said "oh, we study Spanish at school" yes we do but not all Spaniards speak Spanish,...my friend tried to say some words but the man didn't understand anyways because he speaks Gallego "I speak Gallego, not Spanish".

Hahah it was funny because my friend didn't understand a f***

in Spain people speak Castilian (what we call Spanish), or Catalan, Gallego, Euskera, etc.

So do all of Central & South America. Why is our nationality being ignored for this generic nonsense?. It's the Chinese, the Americans, the French, the Italians, the Spaniards, the English, the Germans, etc. We're Mexicans, Panamanians, Colombians, Cubans -- we are Hispanic because we speak Spanish. We are not Italians, we are not Latins, we don't speak Latin.

I've always been sort of amazed at how my Mexican classmates speak English and Spanish fluently. I can't even speak my own language which is kind of a shame.. Although I understand completely. So US born Spaniards/Mexicans, did your parents teach you? I'm very curious. Thank you.

If mexicans are so proud to be mexican, why do they speak the lingo of the conquistadores? those who raped and pillaged and enslaved the real mexicans? why do european looking people dominate their culture as if they're real mexicans? the fact is they are not and remants of the spaniards. Shouldn't real mexicans take back their country from the spaniards and learn to speak their true lingo? oh yeah, do any of you so called proud 'mexicans' know what ONE of those lingos is??? i'm guessing few if any do cause you're brainwashed. let's hear it.
servocal? you're a putz there is no bigotry in my statement ONLY FACT!!! hispanic? ANOTHER MADE UP TERM!!! where is hispania? made up term with no meaning other than to cultural marxists. moron.

Not all spaniards do, but I know in Catalonia and the Valencia region lots of people speak both Catalan and Spanish, but nobody speaks only Catalan. My point is, what benefits are there to speaking Catalan when the entire Catalan speaking world speaks Spanish aswell? If everyone stopped speaking it would it make a difference?

I'm Spanish and my American classmates at least most of them not all, ask me why I have a Mexican surname and I look white.
It's sooo anoying.
Spaniards are white. How come people can't understand that?
And btw, not all Mexicans are brown. Some of them are still pure Spanish blood with no Native American in them.

Where abouts in Spain did the Spaniards came from the most Andalusia or Castile and Leon did Latin American Spanish evolve more from Andalusian Spanish or Castilian Spanish does anyone know.

Hi,

This boils down to 5 key questions for me:

1] When and how did conquering Spaniards in indigenously-populated Mexico become "Mexicans?"

2] When did Spanish control of New Spain/Mexico cede to and come under Mexican control?

3] Was this (#2 above) when Mexico became a formal Mexican nation---and no longer a colony of Spain?

4] Was it mostly Spaniards---or later day Mexicans---who originally explored and/or settled areas north of the present border between Mexico and the U.S.?

5] When did Spanish authority/control of present U.S. territory as defined then through land grants, etc---fall under Mexican authority/control?

The dates and circumstances of these 5 particular events would be very much appreciated---as well as the resources.

Thank you muchly.
