Mexican is a nationality; not a language. A “Mexican” is a person from Mexico and the language they speak is Spanish, NOT Mexican.

No different then saying speak America when you are speaking English...

there's an old saying that the only thing that separates the English and the Americans is a common language

IF you know the Spanish they speak in Mexico vs the Spanish they speak in the the rest of the Hispanic world it a far wider gap.

I know someone that spoke fluent Castilian Spanish and they could not understand a word a Mexican said when they finally picked it up they said it sounded like someone from the speaking arcane English that was from the deep south.

I myself grew up in the area of southern California that was 98% Mexican...I can't speak it but I can sure as heck understand quite a bit.... when I went to Buenos Aires I couldn't understand a word of the Spanish spoken down there it sounded completely different it sounded like Italian

There might be a reason for that. Did you know that there are over 40 spoken languages in Argentina? Yessir.... sho ‘nuff. If you don’t believe me, do a Google search.
