There are Mexicans that don't speak spanish. They still speak their native language(6%). There are 68 recognized indigenous languages in Mexico. You can look at wikipedia or other sources on this.

Mexicans fall into 1 of 3 groups. 60% mestizo, 30% amerindian, 10% white.(CIA Fact Book)

Of the mestizos, some break then down into 2 groups. Big Mexicans like ex President Fox and small Mexicans like president Calderon.

Wife and visited Oaxaca some years ago and the hotel clerk was giving orders in one of the indigenous languages, then quickly returned to Spanish to greet us. My Spanish must have been so painful for her that she immediately responded with “I speak English, senior...”

You could apply American demographics to all of those stats; a number of Americans don’t speak English, instead speaking their native tongues.

Interesting stats, though; are 99% of the Mestizos “small”? It certainly seems that way.
