Is the spanish spoken in Mexico the same as the one in Spain?

Answer 1

No. The language is almost the same, but the accent, expressions, sounds and wordings are completely different. Some examples are provided:

Spanish 'z' pronunciation sounds like a 'th', which is almost unheard of in Mexico.

Verb pronunciation such as "You drink": "Ustedes beben" (Mx) and "Vosotros bebeis" (Sp).

Whole words equivalent to Color (US) and Colour (UK) in the English language:

Papa (Mx) / Patata (Sp)

Computadora (Mexico) / Ordenador (Sp)

Fabrica (Mx) / Factoria (Sp)

Answer 2

Yes. However, it is like the differences between American, British and Australian English. Both Mexican Spanish and Castilian Spanish have several differences, mainly the accent and how different words are pronounced.

For instance, Spanish from Spain has a different sound for the 's' and 'z' while Mexican Spanish has no distinction among both phonemes. Another would be the Spanish voseo, or use of vos for conjugation (i.e. "Vosotros comprasteis una mesa" in Spain vs. "Ustedes compraron una mesa" in Mexico).

Answer 3

As much as Californian English and New Yorker English: both regions speak the same language, but each one has different accents and words for specific items. For example, Dominican people will rise their brows if someone from Mexico refers to his or her chamacos (children). Conversely, a Mexican will not understand if a Dominican is referring to someone as being angurriento (miserable, petty).

Answer 4

YES. Spanish is spoken in both places. There are dialectical differences between Spain Spanish and Latin American Spanish, but they are still the same language. (This is just like how there are differences between British English and American English, but both are clearly English.)

Answer 5

They are essentially the same langauge but with some differences. Much like British English and American English.

Answer 6

Just as much as the United States and England: Mexico is a former colony of Spain, and fought and won its independence in 1821.

Mexico is in southern North America. Spain is in Europe.

Answer 7

Spain's Spanish is often called Castilian Spanish. Mexican Spanish is less formal than Castilian.

Answer 8

It is the Spanish language, but there are different dialects.

Answer 9

It's the same language, but very different dialects.

Answer 10

Yes, Mexico speaks the same language as Spain. It is just a different dialect of the same language, comparable to British English vs. American English.
