Mexican Spanish is a dialect of the Spanish language spoken by more than 113 million people. It has a different accent than standard Spanish.[3] It is the official language of Mexico, starting from when the Spaniards and their Black people from Sub-Saharan Africa invaded and colonized the country in the 16th century.[4]
