Yes. Spanish is the de-facto language (meaning Mexico does not have any official language), and is spoken by 92.7% of the Mexican population. However, 63 Amerindian languages are also recognized as national languages and can be used for official purposes; these include Nahuatl, Yucatec Maya, Mixtec, Zapotec, Tzeltal Maya, Tzotzil Maya and Otomi. It is estimated 5.7% of the population, or about 7 million people speak any one of these languages besides Spanish, and 0.8% speaks only one of these Amerindian languages.

If Native Americans came from Asia are there any Asian words found in Native American languages?

I don't know if there can be found any words (because I can't find any dictionary on the Internet of a Siberian language or a Native-American one), that are the same. But there are still some languages in Siberia (Russia), that are part of the Eskimo-Aleut language family, an North-American language family, this could prove that the Eskimo-Aleut languages (and other languages in America) have there origins in Asia.
