Mexico is just one of the territories born out of New Spain. If these people are Mexican, then so are every Latin group outside of Mexico that are descendants of Spanish colonists. By your logic, I can argue Filipinos are Mexican too. What's funny about your comment is that Mexico has its own indigenous language, Nauhatl, that these people would never in a million years speak. To call them Mexican is laughable. They are descendants of Spanish colonists, but not Mexican.

Spanish was spoken in the western half of North America since the time of the viceroyalty of New Spain from 1521 to 1821. For three hundred years Spanish was spoken. Even Geronimo was a catholic and Spanish speaker as May Native American tribes, which were treated as subjects of the Spanish King. That’s why schools, churches or misiones were build to integrate them into Spanish culture.

Take the case of Australia which the english called "desert land", because there weren't humans there - meaning the natives were the same as animals. The english made colonies, the spanish made viceroyalties. The word "colony" in spanish records isn't found until the XIX century, when the kingdom was taken by the Bourbon dinasty. Not even to throw sht at the US, but that's just the way it was politically.

Some people tend to forget most of the actual US was once Spain, and the people in those territories spoke Spanish (plus sometimes their local indigenous languages).

I recall the title of one was “The Fart Sisters”, a hilarious tale of a sister who shamed her family for life for having cut loose a huge fart during a Holy Week vigil.

The research showed that language spoken in this area was the Spanish spoken by the first Spanish settlers of the 1600 thru the 1800. Because of the areas isolation the Spanish spoken by these people has not changed much.

The first Spanish Colonial settlements were in northern NM since 1598. Settlers did not go back and forth from New Spain territories into New Mexico which was the northern most post in New Spain. Very distant, raiding Indians at every turn so it was dangerous survival. And difficult to attract settlers. Same with Texas and California. Spains government system was iron clad and very strict, travel was annual from Mexico City, taking months by military escourt. So the Spanish heritage/language brought from Spain to NM was preserved without much outside influence. This was early New World, some NMs just off the ships headed to different locaties from Vera Cruz. Others had lived in other territories of New Spain, as Territory of Nuevo Leon, Territory of Mexico, Territory of Nuevo Leon, Territory of Yucatan, Territory of Estramadura etc , but for a few years before making NM their home. So many times there was more connection to Spain than to distant territories in New Spain which were young colonies of Spain born after 1525. Additionally unlike territories such as Mexico City, (Kingdom of Mexico Territory) most Indians were unconquered and in the far north settlements, there was little contact with the Indians, each ethnicity retaining their heritage, religion and culture. So mestizo was not the culture. Once in NM, an isolated colonial society was the way of life until 1821. Americans mountain fur traders settled and commerce via Old Santa Fe Trail from Missouri, more so after 1846. Mexico brought few Mexicans after 1821, generally Mexican officials. New Mexico has two cultures, 424 years Spanish in the north and 140 years Mexican in the south, as those from Chihuahua, Sonora, Sinaloa began migration approx 1880 after the Mexican War, establishing villages in Mexico/US border areas. These have direct ties to Mexico culturally as well as family. And don't have a connection to northern New Mexico historically. Old Mexico is not historically correct. New Mexico got its name and territorial identity approx 1560, two and a half centuries before Mexico got its name as a nation in 1821. So the Territory of New Mexico predates the nation of Mexico.. Additionally New Mexico got its name from Spain, for new gold treasures and riches as possessed by the Aztec in Mexico City, which Spain hoped to discover, a new Mexico. Which obviously was a misnomer...

@@Kat-fq4ei You seem to be conveniently forgetting that most of the founding families were Novohispanics (people from the wealthy Kingdom of New Spain, with Mexico City as capital, essentially modern Mexico) and most were Mestizos as well as Criollos who were NOT Peninsulares. Obviously they did go back and forth because I’m standing here as witness that my ancestors founded New Mexico, but my family is from Zacatecas!! It’s actually so hilarious to read your statement because very little of it is true. Modern Mexico was the heart of it all, and Oñate (the FOUNDER of New Mexico) was born in Zacatecas, and his wife was most definitely Mestiza because she was the granddaughter of the Aztec emperor 🤣 ALL of those families were essentially the Mexicans of today, no genetic difference at all, stop erroneous propaganda that says they were “straight from Spain to NM” and “NM is older”😆 that’s obviously wrong. Besides, most Mexican’s family lines are “straight from Spain” as well, but it doesn’t make them not Mexican. Even in the 17th century, the families that were recruited in the founding of Santa Cruz de la Cañada (the second Villa in NM after Santa Fe) gave testimony that they were enlisted in Fresnillo in Nueva Galicia (modern Zacatecas) as settlers when Vargas was recruiting colonists. That is not old Spain! Further, the Kingdom of Mexico (Reino de México) was founded in the 1520’s, NM was about three quarters of a century newer. The name comes from the Mexica, which were rulers of Tenochtitlan, also commonly referred to as the Aztecs!! Their capital was MEXICO CITY, not in New Mexico😆 You’re essentially saying NM gots it’s name from the Spanish, but then saying a name which is from the Aztecs😂, so it’s not “named by or from Spain”, it’s named after actual Mexico!Read some actual history.

La diferencia es que España y españoles llevan 500 años sufriendo difamación, tergiversación, etc una serie de mentiras y tópicos falsos sobre nosotros. Se llama Leyenda Negra. los españoles llegaron a América 200 años antes que los ingleses y gran parte de los hoy EEUU eran España con españoles que hababan español 150 años antes que inglés. Los EEUU celebran Jamestown como primer asentamiento europeo en América y "olvidan"que en esa época los españoles ya habían fundado, LITERALMENTE, más de MIL ciudades en América. No es casualidad. El español es la segunda lengua en importancia en el mundo pero está infrarepresentada en Google, etc. por la leyenda negra y las difamaciones que siguen vertiendo a diario: Google, Hollywood, Netflix, HBO, Disney, Marvel, National Geographic, ... etc. etc. etc. Incluso todas las universidades de EEUU, de Harvard a la más desconocida, dictan cada año cursos de "Colonias Latinoamericanas", es difícil mentir más con dos palabras. España NO tenía colonias (los anglos y franceses sí, los españoles no) eran territorios españoles con ciudadanos españoles, no colonias y jamás hubo latinos en América, son HISPANOamericanos pero está prohibido por lo político correcto decir Hispano, España, etc. si es para nombrar algo positivo, solo vale descalificar y mentir y difamar sobre España y españoles.

It is normal if you use it to say “Cake”, but using it for pie is a bit funny for spanish speakers, for we have the word “Tarta” (not “Torta”) or its hispanic version “Pay”. And calling cake “Queque” is another droll trade, since in numerous parts of northern Mexico a queque is a muffin within the category of “Pan dulce” (literally translated as “Sweet bread”). And to add the cherry on top, the previous applies, as far as I’m concerned, to mexican spanish (up to some extent), who knows how the rest of Hispanoamérica sees that.

My grandma chose not to teach her children Spanish because she and her siblings were hit for speaking Spanish in school and she was made to feel ashamed and did not want her children to go through the same thing. She always regretted this later in life. Most of my friends and family feel like English should always be spoken but I personally am ashamed that I do not speak Spanish and cannot communicate with other Spanish speakers. I am ashamed that I did not teach my children.

When I returned from the East Coast and heard someone speaking Spanish with that specific New Mexican accent, I actually cried. (I was in a Lotaburger in Santa Rosa; eating a green chile cheeseburger for the first time in years may also have made me a little teary.) Of course there are Spanish speakers everywhere, but the New Mexican accent is unique. I knew I was home.

My girlfriend got a doctorate in 17th century Spanish Literature, upon moving to the states from Spain. She discovered that the Spanish spoken in Northern New Mexico/ lower Colorado was more closely related to Old Spanish of that same period. This area was isolated due to the uprisings from native peoples, cutting off communication with lower Nuevo Espania. They had little influence from the outside world for a long time. Spain’s language evolved also with immigration & media. Native tongues & English had an influence in these northern parts, but their Spanish was closer to old Spanish than anywhere else, including Mexico. She wrote papers on this & was asked to escort the Prince of Spain to this area several years back.

Lo intentamos pero hay ciertos "problemas", uno es la "leyenda negra" una serie de mentiras, difamaciones e infamias que nos dedican los anglos desde hace 500 años para deformar la imagen de España y los españoles. Le pongo algunos ejemplos: Los españoles llegaron a América 200 años antes que los ingleses. En gran parte de los actuales EEUU se hablaba español antes que el inglés. Una diferencia es que España NUNCA tuvo colonias, los anglos sí. España consideraba a los habitantes de esos territorios como españoles y esos territorios, a todos los efectos, eran España, por eso los hispanos tenemos todos los tonos de color de piel: blanquísimo, blanco, moreno, marrón, cobrizo, negro y sus mezclas. Porque para los españoles no había diferencias entre unos y otros. En España se fomentaba el mestizaje y desconocía el racismo. Toda la famosa "Conquista del Oeste" que vende Hollywood es más falsa que un billete de 2$. Todo el Oeste era España con españoles. Cuando llegan los anglos estos españoles hablaban sus lenguas nativas y el español, eran ya sedentarios, vivían en casas y pueblos, sus hijos iban a la escuela y todos a la iglesia católica. Pero los "tolerantes" y "civilizados" anglos aplican una política OFICIAL demoledora: "el único indio bueno es el indio muerto" y ponen precio a las cabelleras nativas/mestizas, sean de hombre o mujer, de anciano o niño, a los pocos supervivientes les arrebatan sus tierras y los encierran en campos de concentración y hasta hace bien poco les negaban hasta el pasaporte ... En Filipinas, más de lo mismo, tras ser durante 300 años España y españoles, EEUU fomenta, financia, arma la revolución ... y expulsan a los españoles. Una vez conseguido eso los EEUU incumplen todos los acuerdos y promesas a los filipinos, les IMPONEN el inglés a la fuerza (España en 300 años jamás impuso la lengua) y destruyen los EEUU todo el legado católico y sus iglesias ... los filipinos hartos de tantas mentiras de EEUU y sus abusos se sublevan ... EEUU asesina a más de UN MILLÓN de filipinos ... (siempre tan demócratas, pro libertades y derechos ... bla, bla, bla) pero los genocidas son .... los españoles, por supuesto. Así al menos lo venden hoy, cada día: Google, Hollywood, Netflix, HBO, Disney; Marvel National Geographic, etc. etc. llevamos así 500 años de difamaciones y mentiras. Es difícil salvar ninguna herencia cuando durante siglos han estado mintiendo, matando, persiguiendo, etc.

Puerto Rican from New York. Many of my relatives who have now passed spoke this Spanish\Spanglish. For years I thought Lonche was Spanish for Lunch and Quequi was for Cake. It’s amazing how this version of Spanglish has even been absorbed back into Puerto Rico itself due to constant migration. I think this language is probably very common amongst many U.S. Latino communities.

Spanish is my second language and I've gotten to a point in learning the language where I have to decide which dialect I'll speak. I've had many different types of teachers speaking different types of Spanish throughout my learning of the language, so I never had a solid jumping off point on what regional grammar and definitions I should use, just standard Spanish. I'm from the US and I'm looking to move to Colorado in the future. Even though it isn't what I grew up speaking, it'll be the Spanish of those around me. I am glad that they showed the dictionary because that is going to be my next purchase. I can't wait to see how much is similar to what I've learned as Mexican Spanish (words from Nahuatl) and which words come from English, and which ones come from the tribes who live(d) there (such as Navajo, Comanche, Apache, Ute, Pueblo, etc...). I may even start learning Navajo depending on how much that language influenced the Spanish dialect.

@@Kat-fq4ei You are tripping very hard. _New Mexico_ (state) and _Mexico_ (country) got their names thanks to _Tenochtitlán_ (Mexico City) and the _Mēxihcah_ (Aztecs) people, which are way older than New Mexico, Mexico or New Spain. Furthermore, _Mexico City_ administered _New Mexico_ for approximately 350 years, and that's because New Mexico was part of both New Spain and Mexico, with Mexico City as the capital of both entities. New Mexico wasn't administered directly from Madrid or Spain but via Mexico City! Mexico City is way closer to Albuquerque or Santa Fe than Washington or Madrid ever were, not only in geographical terms but also culturally, ethnically and historically.

@@xolotlmexihcah4671 New Spain, which was many territories including California to Florida, Cuba, Caribbeans, Phillipines, Central America plus, was administered in Mexico City by Spains viceroy, representative of Spains king. Cortez made it to Vera Cruz in 1519, Spain did not explore California and SW till about 1540, while simultaneously other explorations from Florida to Louisiana, claimed as territories for Spain as part of New Spain. In fact New Mexico Territory predates Mexico as New Mexico got its name approx 1560, over two centuries before Mexico got its name 1821. You can refer to a New Spain map, prior to 1821, there is no Mexico... Tenochtitlan the Aztec capitol, was renamed Mexico City by Spain for the "mexica" Aztec tribes in that vicinity , sometimes referred to as valley of Mexico, home to the mexica, which was rich in gold. Spains tales of rich cities yet to be discovered were prevalent, with tales of a golden city by the De Niza expedition, promoted the extensive Coronado expedition to the far north tierras nuevas and a new "Mexico" for treasures to be found. Had Spain not named the capital Mexico City it would likely still be Tenochtitlan, Montezumas reigning city. So credit goes to Spain for naming the Aztec capitol, "Mexico City" and who knows what todays Mexico would be named if not for Spain. The country or nation of Mexico, 300 years later is a whole different story and different era from Spains era of governing New Spain. During Spains era, the different territories, far and wide, were known as New Spain and ruled by Spains iron clad monarchy. New Mexico, in fact all of New Spain territories had different Indian tribes, different cultures , different ethnicities, different politics, different geographies and different histories. Same language--Spanish. Same religion--Catholic. Except for the thousands of unconquered Indians. New Mexico was a province of the young Mexico after independence for 25 years, not by default, but by Mexicos claim. In fact, New Mexico which included Arizona, Texas and California did not fight for independence from Spain, or were part of Hidalgos or Guerillas politics or rebellions against Spain. And in Mexicos attempt to independence, its first Constitution 1814, Apatzingan these far north provinces were not listed as Mexico, they did not support independence. In fact, there were northern NM folks in the 1800s who actually lived under three flags. Born under Spains flag as subjects if Spain, lived under the Mexican flag as Mexican citizens ( including Anglo settlers), died under the USA flag as American citizens.

It’s very unique and while there are similarities to French, there are differences. Unfortunately, like in New Mexico, our native languages are dying out, quite literally. My parents never taught me French, as it was frowned upon. I did manage to learn quite a bit on my own though. I hope this sweet couple can change a bit of history for many generations.

A lot of communities in Texas and even California and other southwest states have traditionally spoken Spanish like them. Old archaic, Spanish words like haiga, asina, lo mesmo , naiden ,muncho ,trastero , vites etc are still used in pockets of the southwest , Mexico and Latin America. Not to speak of the old grammar style. A lot of other words they used are Spanglish corruption of English words such as lonche for lunch,troka for truck , queque for cake are all words that we would use in California much to the shock of properly educated Spanish speakers😅

Thank you for noting the old grammar and words. In WWII my parents lived in Hobbs and Roswell as my father was an Army Air Force officer and pilot. He was half Irish with black hair, brown eyes, a mustache, and tan like a nut. He was constantly taken to be Mexican. With a 'blonde' wife AND an officer - you can imagine. But they rolled with it. They loved the cultures of the SW. Mom formally studied Spanish becoming quite fluent. The Spanish she learned was old school grammar, wording, and writing. Very formal and strictly structured. I still have her texts. When studying Spanish in HS and college in the 70s, I noticed considerable difference, and in travelling the SW in the 60s/70s on our way to my aunt's in Camarillo CA and later Yuma, regional differences were obvious. It's no different from any other language. I've met people from Louisiana that I could barely understand and they spoke English, not even Creole, Cajun. And it wasn't just the accent. A distinct dialect of English. Language is constantly evolving at different rates in different areas. Thousands are on the verge of extinction, which is a loss. Language is a window, a door into a culture, a way of life. When it closes, not just the language, but knowledge unique to the culture is lost with the words describing it.

I try and explain to people the English accent these elders speak with but it is very peculiar that it is hard to describe. I grew up listening to it in the household but I do not have this accent in English although the same terms are used when speaking Spanish or Spanglish with this accent. I have been to other parts of Latin America and it is noticeable to me and the locals that we speak different forms of Spanish from one another yet we understand each other. On that note, I always assumed this dialect was particular to the Southwest and was prominent during the early to mid part of the 20th century with Chicanos. Both my parents were from different parts of the southwest yet both spoke this way as did their parents.
