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.

Same here. I think they just use some words in English, plus some words from native American languages, but it's mostly Spanish. So, it's pretty much like any other variety of Spanish spoken in the New World. Very interesting, but I wouldn't call it an "ancient dialect" or anything like that.

I’m from El Paso and I grew up speaking this way but as I got older I was discouraged from speaking this way because I was told that it’s not real Spanish. It’s Spanish mixed with some Spanglish. They’re words that are influenced from the English language. For instance the word troca comes from the word truck. The actual word for truck in Spanish is camioneta. I was told that this comes from younger generations not taking the time to make sure to speak proper Spanish so they just put a Spanish twist to some English words. So I don’t understand why this is supposed to be some ancient dialect that’s in danger of disappearing.

This should give you more reason to share your knowledge and teach your language to your younger people. It will disappear if we let it and if we give up. Adelante y que Viva la Raza Hispana.

It's never happened to me but it did happen to my mom once. Some old dude told her to swim back to DR and he was so lucky I wasn't there because knowing my temper, I know I would've gone off on his ass lol.

is not that different, it's just a little archaic, that's it

Can’t forget about Texas! Our Spanish is also quite similar.

It’s interesting though, because almost all of the settler families of the 16-1700’s were from old Mexico (New Spain), specifically Zacatecas. My family is from there and there are many archaic terms that are used there and not in modern Spain. Is it really that different?

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.

⁠@@jaiboroo I speak Spanish (Cuba) and I understand these people….Their accent sounds like Mexican Americans because I can hear their American accent and the Anglicismo of those certain words is cod even for people from Mexico like lonche, troca, etc…

Yeah cause it is SPANGLISH. This broadcaster has no idea that Spanglish is not unique. It is an incorporation of American English words that crept into the language not that long ago.

It’s Spanglish and it’s similar to varieties of Spanglish spoken in places like Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

@@misssilencedogood5968 it’s been spoken for longer than just a few years. Spanglish is well over 100 years old.

@@misssilencedogood5968 Spanglish has been a thing for a couple hundred years, probably 18th century but definitely 19th century. The first Mexican American author to write in English was Maria Ruiz de Burton who was born in 1832. This doesn’t even account for those in Gibraltar who also have mixed the two languages since the 1700’s.

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 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.

Tras expulsar a los españoles EEUU INCUMPLE todas sus promesas e IMPONE el inglés (los españoles en 300 años en Filipinas jamás impusieron el castellano) y destruyen el legado e iglesias católicas, ... los filipinos hartos de las mentiras de EEUU, sus imposiciones y demás se rebelan y ... asesinan a más de un millón de filipinos ... pero los genocidas son los ... "españoles" por supuesto. etc etc etc.

El idioma que están hablando las personas mayores de este video no es ningún dialecto, es español o castellano ,como quieran ustedes llamarlo.

Gringos ruined Texas, California, Florida ET AL. Creationist Spain didn't have drug addicts everywhere, nor sodomites parading their perversion, nor confusion about genders.

Es mas spanglish que español antiguo.

totally agreed , it definitely not archaic spanish, it's modern spanglish. Hopefully, nobody learns to speak like that nowadays.

Hopefully que si porque it is our dialect y es history tambien....@@tenuck67

Exactly.......it's just Americanized Spanish ....or Spanglish. I speak it all day long in rural TN.

Aca in South Texas hablamos like that todo el tiempo of the day. I like hablando like that pero.... other people .....como el new generation .......are taught que it is a low mentality, possibly lower IQ los que hacen talk como we do. Pero it is not....es un dialect de nosotros. @@aservantinbabylon

That’s not true as there’s tons of Spanish speaking communities in the USA from South America and Spain who say “almuerzo.” There’s more than 50 million speakers of spanish in the USA. Impossible for you to know them and say “everywhere.” A dialect is much more than 1 word. LOL.

@@Lex_Lugar LOL! LOL! LOL! "A dialect is much more than 1 word. LOL." NY, MIAMI, LA, DALLAS, tons of people say "lonche" it's terrible Spanish but English is very catchy and pervasive! Where are you holed up???

@@Lex_Lugar Because almuerzo is Spanish, and lonche is NOT.

YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S PATHETIC THE WAY THE MEDIA MUST LIE IN ORDER TO "CREATE" NEWS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE "NEW". THEY ARE NOT SPEAKING A "FADING DIALECT" THEY ARE SPEAKING QUITE STANDARD SPANISH THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD ANYWHERE IN SPANISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES.

exactly. But Americans always think they are somehow 'special' and 'unique'.

Totally agree. I hear those words on East Coast as well

Yes indeed, it is completely absorbed. I, coming from a Spanish speaking country in South America, with no English influence at the borders, feel disheartened listening this difficult to understand hybrid hodgepodge 😪

Disculpa, pero yo soy boricua, jamás he salido de la isla y esas palabras solo son comunes, tal vez, entre comunidades descendientes de boricuas en Nueva York. Y solo entre ellos/ustedes.

Esto en América del Sur ya no lo vemos como Castellano/ Español sino una mezclonanza que han borrado muchas palabras del Español 😮

in california we say lonche

That’s still a dialect. Dialect means accent. It’s only some people in Europe who are elitist and talk about regional languages as not even deserving of the name language who call them “dialects” as a bad word. Dialects are part of the same language, if they are different languages then they aren’t dialects of each other

Check South Texas , like the Valley ( Rio Grand Valley) and also small rural towns in northern Mexico.

In rural mexico they speak indigenous languages or Spanish as someone born and raised in Mexico my grandparents spoke wirarika and had to learn Spanish to get a job in the city but we don’t really have a “Spanish dialect “ but we natives in Mexico sometimes mix our indigenous languages with Spanish

​@@yucol5661 "Dialect" does not mean "accent"... An accent has to do with the pronunciation of words, the way they're said. A dialect is a sort of subgroup of a language. Example: Spanish is a language, and the dialect in this video has it's own unique words and traits (but Spanish speakers will understand the speech in this video)

This is not old Spanish from Spain! Estais Chiflada!😂 This is "Pocho style" broken Spanish! Mexicans from rural Mexican towns do not speak Spanglish. However some Mexicans do use words that have been anglicized i.e., quequi tickete cuques troca lonche etc I have also heard Mexicans use words such as; Asina huites, recio, muncho, truje anios etc.

It has a name? Jejen.

Louis & Clark weren't pioneers. The Spanish were in Luisiana even before the French.

@@scintillam_dei The Pacific Coast to Canada, California to Texas, Florida to Louisiana were all part of New Spain. Not to mention today's Mexico, Central America, Philippines, Cuba, Caribbeans, plus; all were different parts of la Nueva España. New Mexico predates Mexico as New Mexico got its name about 1550, over two centuries before Mexico became a nation 1821, getting its name Estados Unidos Mexicanos as the Republic of Mexico, under its Constitution at that time. Old Mexico is not historically correct.

@@bigal2362 named New Mexico for new golden treasures they hoped to find as with the wealthy mexica Aztec in Mexico City... a misnomer, the Spanish were fooled. They should have stuck to Nueva Andalucia ...

@@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.

I think perhaps you mean as “Anglo” as they come. White Hispanics can also be as white as they come!

@@Duquedecastro this is very true! My mistake. I remember having to ask my mom what Anglo meant as a kid, because in Northern NM, white means pretty much nothing!

🇪🇸Soy español ¿realmente esta gente son descendientes de españoles, o son mejicanos?

Well, will you learn this language then? There's quite a lot of language-learning resources online now.

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 got confused when they kept bringing up lonche as an example. I hear that all the time here in California 😅 thank you for enlightening me :)

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.

West Tx native Tejano here 😊 👋I feel like everyone here speaks just like that. Idk the difference 😂

My fam is from Michoacán and use most of those words.

spanish didnt come from mexico, we all speak it because all of it belonged to Spain which spanish originated from
