Official Mexican Languages Spanish Indigenous
The constitution of Mexico did not formally classify any language(s) as the official Mexican language(s). Mexico being a country with a majority of diverse European ethnic backgrounds, no single language is given the predominant position of an official language. Spanish is spoken by the majority of Mexicans (about 97 % of the population) and hence, it enjoys the status of a de facto official and a national language. It shares this status with more than sixty indigenous languages. The General Law of Linguistic Rights of the Indigenous Peoples has granted the national language status to Spanish and the indigenous languages.
