What is Mexico's official name (in English)?

Mexico's Name HOW     DID MEXICO GET ITS NAME? by Bob     Brooke While     the official name of Mexico is Estados Unidos Mexicanos or the     United Mexican States, most people know it as just plain Mexico or as     Mexicans say it Mejico (The j is pronounced like an h."). The original word for     Mexico was probably Meshtleeko. This word was a mine field of     pronunciation for the missionaries. Native Spanish speakers have a     difficult time pronouncing sh, whether in an English or a Mexican     word. As a result, they inserted an x in any word containing sh,     thus x came to be pronounced sh. As the first missionaries     to come to the New World from Spain, the Franciscans used the x to help commit indigenous Mesoamerican languages to script using Latin     characters. Whenever they couldn't translate the sounds of letters to     Latin, they used an x, much like an "unknown" in     mathematics. As linguists, these friars faced the problem that there     were sounds produced in the native languages that didn't exist in     Castillian Spanish. The guttural j is an example of this (similar     to ch in German, as in Heinrich), and another is the x mentioned above, the case of the sh sound, as in "shoe." The native people, on the other hand, had similar     problems with Spanish sounds that didn't exist in their own languages.     So the missionaries used an x to stand for many varying sounds--f,     guttural j, sh, s and ks. The uncertainty     regarding which of these sounds x was meant to symbolize in any     given word is what leads to present-day confusion. So, the simplified Mexico     evolved from the fact that the original Meshtleeko was truly     difficult for native Spanish speakers to render. Within a few     generations after the conquest, people replaced the original sh sound that the x symbolized by the more common interpretation of x,     the j. This occurred because native Mexica speakers nearly     disappeared from the central Valley of Mexico in the first few decades     after the conquest and those few remaining weren't influential at all.     Those Spaniards across the oceans who administered their new possessions     on the basis of written reports issuing from colonial governors didn't     have the guidance of native speakers of Mesoamerican languages to     properly interpret the "Latinized" versions of native words. Because of this,     Spaniards soon began writing the name of the country as it was     pronounced--Mï¿½jico. Mexicans themselves have continued to use     the Mexico version. Even though both pronunciations are as far from the     original Mexica word, the usual reason advanced for this is that this     word and its present spelling connect Mexico with its historical past.


Mexico | history - geography | Britannica.com Relief Geologic origins Mexico is located in one of the Earth’s most dynamic tectonic areas. It is a part of the circum-Pacific “ Ring of Fire ”—a region of active volcanism and frequent seismic activity. Among its towering volcanic peaks are Citlaltépetl (also called Orizaba), which forms the highest point in the country at 18,406 feet (5,610 metres), and the active volcano Popocatépetl , which rises to 17,930 feet (5,465 metres) to the southeast of Mexico City. These and other Mexican volcanoes are young in geologic terms, from the Paleogene and Neogene periods (about 65 to 2.6 million years ago), and are examples of the volcanic forces that built much of the central and southern parts of the country. Mexico is situated on the western, or leading, edge of the huge North American Plate, whose interaction with the Pacific, Cocos, and Caribbean plates has given rise to numerous and severe earthquakes as well as the earth-building processes that produce southern Mexico’s rugged landscape. It is in this dynamic and often unstable physical environment that the Mexican people have built their country. Physiographic regions German Chain of Command in Western Europe, June 1944 The largely volcanic Sierra Madre Occidental , which forms the western border of the Mexican Plateau, has an average elevation of 8,000–9,000 feet (2,400–2,700 metres) and extends roughly 700 miles (1,100 km) from north to south. It has been highly incised by westward-flowing streams that have formed a series of gorges, or barrancas , the most spectacular of which is the complex known as Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre) in southwestern Chihuahua state. Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre) in the Sierra Madre Occidental, in Chihuahua state, Mexico. © Kerrick James The Sierra Madre Oriental , a range of folded mountains formed of shales and limestones, is situated on the eastern side of the Mexican Plateau. Often considered an extension of the Rocky Mountains (which are cut by the Rio Grande but continue in New Mexico and western Texas), it runs roughly 700 miles (1,100 km) from north to south before merging with the Cordillera Neo-Volcánica. Its average elevations are similar to those of the Sierra Madre Occidental, but some peaks rise above 12,000 feet (3,650 metres). The mountains have major deposits of copper, lead, and zinc. The Cordillera Neo-Volcánica , also called the Neo-Volcanic Axis or Trans-Volcanic Axis, is a geologically active mountain range whose smoldering cinder cones link the Sierra Madre Occidental with the Sierra Madre Oriental at the southern edge of the Mesa Central. As it crosses Mexico from Cape Corrientes on the west coast to Xalapa and Veracruz on the eastern coast, it forms a mountainous backdrop to the states of Jalisco , Michoacán, Guerrero , México, Morelos , and Puebla as well as the Federal District. This volcanic range includes the spectacular peaks Citlaltépetl, Popocatépetl, and Iztaccíhuatl (Ixtacihuatl), among others. One of the world’s youngest volcanoes, Parícutin emerged violently from the fields of Michoacán between 1943 and 1952. The region is rich in silver, lead, zinc, copper, and tin deposits. The hot, dry Balsas Depression , which takes its name from the major river draining the region, is immediately south of the Cordillera Neo-Volcánica. The depression is formed of small, irregular basins interrupted by hilly outcrops, which give the area a distinctive physical landscape.

The triangular northern portion of the plain, which is characterized by lagoons and low-lying swampy areas, reaches a width of more than 100 miles (160 km) near the U.S. borde

Mexico City | World Public Library - eBooks | Read eBooks online Francisco Villa and Emiliano Zapata entering Mexico City (1914) Under the rule of Porfirio Díaz—about 30 years formally as president; about 35 years in all, 1876-1911, in effective control—Mexico City experienced a massive transformation. Díaz's goal was to create a city which could rival the great European cities. He and his government came to the conclusion that they would use Paris as a model, while still containing remnants of Amerindian and Hispanic elements. This style of Mexican-French fusion architecture became colloquially known as Porfirian Architecture. During this era of Porfirian rule, the city underwent an extensive modernization. Many Spanish Colonial style buildings were destroyed, replaced by new much larger Porfirian institutions and many outlying rural zones were transformed into urban or industrialized districts with most having electrical, gas and sewage utilities by 1908. While the initial focus was on developing modern hospitals, schools, factories and massive public works, perhaps the most long lasting effects of the Porfirian modernization were creation of the Colonia Roma area and the development of Reforma Avenue. Many of Mexico City's major attractions and landmarks were built during this era in this style. Diaz's plans called for the entire city to eventually be modernized or rebuilt in the Porfirian/French style of the Colonia Roma but the Mexican Revolution began soon after and the plans never came to fruition with many projects being left half completed. One of the best examples of this is the Monument to the Mexican Revolution. Originally the monument was to be the main dome of Diaz's new senate hall, but when the revolution erupted only the dome of the senate hall and its supporting pillars were completed, this was subsequently seen as a symbol by many Mexicans that the Porfirian era was over once and for all and as such, it was turned into a monument to victory over Diaz. Fast modern development eventually led to the Mexican Revolution .[40] The most significant episode of this period for the city was the La decena trágica ("The Ten Tragic Days"), a 1913 coup against President Francisco I. Madero and his vice president, José María Pino Suárez . Victoriano Huerta , chief general of the Federal Army saw a chance to take power, forcing Madero and Pino Suarez to sign resignations. The two were murdered later while on their way to prison.[46] 20th century to present The Angel of Independence , completed in 1910 has become a modern icon of the city The history of the rest of the 20th century to the present focuses on the phenomenal growth of the city and its environmental and political consequences. In 1900, the population of Mexico City was about 500,000.[47] The city began to grow rapidly westward in the early part of the 20th century[31] and then began to grow upwards in the 1950s, with the Torre Latinoamericana becoming the city's first skyscraper.[24] The 1968 Olympic Games brought about the construction of large sporting facilities.[31] In 1969, the Metro system was inaugurated.[24] Explosive growth in the population of the city started from the 1960s, with the population overflowing the boundaries of the Federal District into the neighboring state of Mexico, especially to the north, northwest and northeast. Between 1960 and 1980 the city's population more than doubled to nearly 9 million.[31] In 1980, half of all the industrial jobs in Mexico were located in Mexico City. Under relentless growth, the Mexico City government could barely keep up with services. Villagers from the countryside who continued to pour into the city to escape poverty only compounded the city's problems. With no housing available, they took over lands surrounding the city, creating huge shantytowns that extended for many miles.[40] This caused serious air pollution in Mexico City and water pollution problems, as well as a sinking city due to overextraction of groundwater, groundwater-related subsidence .[48] Air and water pollution has been containe

The Mexican War of Independence 1810-1821 ended colonial rule by which nation, since 1521?

Struggle for Mexican Independence - Mexico - HISTORY.com Struggle for Mexican Independence A+E Networks Introduction On September 16, 1810, a progressive priest named Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla became the father of Mexican independence with a historic proclamation urging his fellow Mexicans to take up arms against the Spanish government. Known as the “Grito de Dolores,” Hidalgo’s declaration launched a decade-long struggle that ended 300 years of colonial rule, established an independent Mexico and helped cultivate a unique Mexican identity. Its anniversary is now celebrated as the country’s birthday. Google Background The land that is now Mexico fell into Spanish hands in August 1521 when Hernán Cortés and his army of conquistadors toppled the Aztec empire, ushering in three centuries of colonial rule and importing new diseases that decimated once-flourishing native populations. Under orders from the Spanish king, Charles V, Cortés founded a capital city—Ciudad de Mexico—on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, and a series of viceroys took command of the territory, which was dubbed New Spain. Did You Know? Despite his traditional education for the priesthood, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rejected or questioned many of Catholicism’s most fundamental tenets, including the Virgin birth, clerical celibacy and the existence of hell. The earliest revolt against the Spanish colonial government was led by Martín Cortés, the illegitimate son of Hernán Cortés and his translator, a Mayan-born woman known as La Malinche. In the years leading up to the Mexican War of Independence, most plots to end Spanish rule were devised by Mexican-born Spaniards, or criollos, who ranked below native Europeans within Mexico’s highly stratified caste system. The criollos’ approach largely excluded indigenous Mexicans and mestizos—people of mixed ancestry like Martín Cortés—who were often deprived of the most basic political and civil rights. Mexican War of Independence Napoleon’s invasion and occupation of Spain from 1808 to 1813 heightened the revolutionary fervor in Mexico and other Spanish colonies. On September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a respected Catholic priest (and an unconventional one, given his rejection of celibacy and love of gambling) issued a passionate rallying cry known as the “Grito de Dolores” (“Cry of Dolores”) that amounted to a declaration of war against the colonial government. So named because it was publicly read in the town of Dolores, the Grito called for the end of Spanish rule in Mexico, the redistribution of land and a concept that the criollos’ earlier plans had deliberately omitted: racial equality. Though a criollo himself, Hidalgo extended his call to arms to mestizos and people of indigenous descent; their significant contribution of manpower changed the tenor of the revolt. Hidalgo led his growing militia from village to village en route to Mexico City, leaving in their wake a bloodbath that he later came to deeply regret. Defeated at Calderón in January 1811, Hidalgo fled north but was captured and executed by firing squad in Chihuahua . Others took the helm of the rebellion, including José María Morelos y Pavón, Mariano Matamoros and Vicente Guerrero , who all led armies of indigenous and racially mixed revolutionaries against the Spanish royalists. Known as the Mexican War Of Independence, the conflict dragged on until 1821, when the Treaty of Córdoba established Mexico as an independent constitutional monarchy under Agustín de Iturbide. Just 18 months later, the republican insurgents Antonio López de Santa Anna and Guadalupe Victoria ousted the emperor and established the first Mexican Republic. Celebrating Mexican Independence Although September 16, 1810, marked the beginning of Mexico’s struggle for independence rather than its ultimate achievement, the anniversary of the Grito de Dolores has been a day of celebration across Mexico since the late 19th century. The holiday begins on the evening of September 15 with a symbolic reenactment of Hidalgo’s historic proclamation by the president of the republic and t

Name the Mexican founder of the vast corporation Grupo Carso, and the world's richest man 2010-13?

Who is the Richest Person in the World Ever - Countries of the World Who is the Richest Person in the World Ever Who is the Richest Person in the World Ever Pinterest3 Various countries are having the good economies and superior lifestyles, but there are also hundreds of people who are considered world’s billionaires based on their wealth. Who is the richest person in the world ever is a common question mostly arising in our minds, so we have been making research on the top 10 richest people in the world 2016 for the last week, so be ready to have the exact answer. The ranks for the world’s top billionaires are assigned after comparing their worth. Once Again, Bill Gates has become the Richest Person in the world The founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates has recaptured the title of world’s richest person with the estimated fortune of $87.4 Billion. With the age of 60 years, tycoon’s fortune has increased by billions during the last year. Accordance with the index, the shares of Microsoft have risen to 40%, and it is the biggest achievement of the Microsoft Company. In accordance to the Bloomberg Billionaires index, that is the daily ranking list of world’s three hundred wealthiest people around the world. Until 2013, a Mexican investor Carlos Slim was considered the richest man in the world but Bill Gates regained the top rank from him during the same year. The latest survey exposed a list of top ten richest people on earth from which Bill Gates is the richest man in the world having the wealth of $87.4 Billion. Following is a list of Top 10 Current Billionaires around the world. List of Top 10 Richest People in the World 2016 Ranking – At a Glance Rank United States 10 . Michael Bloomberg With the Net worth of $42.1 billion, Michael Bloomberg claims to be the 10th richest man in the world as per 2016 rankings. Michael Bloomberg organized his financial-data company in 1981 following a profitable profession at investment bank Salomon Brothers, which he met in 1966 after pursuing his MBA at Harvard Business School. He united a news and media subordinate to his company in 1990, but even today the majority of Bloomberg LP’s $9 billion in earnings still comes from the trade of terminals that Wall Street traders depend on for the most recent financial and market data. He departed the corporation to run New York City as mayor in 2002 and completed three terms. But instead of spending his time after retiring office in 2013 by giving away his enormous wealth, as expected, he alternately rotated to Bloomberg LP to improve the newsroom and turn the business in a different way. Now, Bloomberg may be seeing to revert to the public office. He is reportedly examining the chances of an autonomous regulatory bid. But he meets an upward struggle — he’s a pro-business fiscal traditionalist who also promotes gun control, abortion benefits, and struggles to control weather difference — his personal fight chest will appear in nearby. The previous mayor, who paid $261 million for his operations for New York City office, tells he’d spent as much as $1 billion of his wealth on a presidential period. 9. Mark Zuckerberg In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg, then only 19-year-old student at Harvard, started TheFacebook.com , an initial version of the now everywhere social network known as Facebook. Zuckerberg fell out of college to work full-time as CEO of Facebook, and this social website instantly erupted in demand. Today, it invites over a billion daily users and is worth over $275 billion, beating all-time stock highs in November later surpassing revenue anticipations. At 31, Zuckerberg is by far the youngest billionaire in the 50 richest people around the world. Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, hugged a daughter, Max, in November, and Zuck got two months off from tasks to stay with his daughter, initiating an example of Facebook’s active paternity-Off policy. The pair also promised in December to transfer 99% of their wealth in their lifetimes by a brand-new company called the Chan-Zuckerberg Enterprise, but a few analysts regarded this latest

World Cup 1970 in Mexico - World Cup Brazil 2014 Guide World Cup Brazil 2014 Guide Join the World Cup Experience Primary menu Date: 31 May – 21 June Final: Brazil – Italy 4-1 3rd place: Uruguay – West Germany 0-1 Teams: 16 Top scorer: Gerd Müller (West Germany) (10 goals) World Cup 1970 Background 2 countries were bidding for hosting the 9th World Cup in 1970: South American country Argentina and North American country Mexico. This was the first time a North American country was officially interested. During the bidding process, it was quickly clear Mexico was receiving more votes (56 votes) than Argentina (32 votes). On October 8 1964 in Tokyo the day of the vote, FIFA officially announced it would be Mexico to host the 1970 World Cup. For the first time a World Cup would be hosted in a different continent outside South America and Europe. There was some controversy about Mexico being the host country due to the high temperature and high altitudes which might affect player’s performance. The temperature was especially perceived as an issue since the matches would be played in the afternoon to suit European television schedules. At the end these factors did not become any issue during the 1970 World Cup. 5 host cities in Mexico World Cup 1970 Participants 75 countries entered the qualification rounds although this amount reduced due to withdrawals and rejected entries. Mexico as host country qualified automatically together with 1966 World Cup winner England. 8 places for Europe excluding England were allocated to the following countries: Soviet Union, Italy, West Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Sweden and Romania. 3 places for South America were allocated to the following countries: Brazil, Uruguay and Peru which qualified for the first time since the first World Cup in 1930. 1 place for North/Central America and Caribbean was allocated to country El Salvador which qualified for the first time. El Salvador and Honduras had to play a total of 3 qualification matches in order for El Salvador to end up as the winner. After the first 2 matches both had equal points, resulting in the need for a 3rd match. Due to the hostile relationship between the 2 countries, these qualification matches intensified the riots which resulted in the 1969 football war . What was new about the place allocations was that Africa would not have to play a play-off against another country from another continent. For the first time in World Cup history an African country would qualify directly for a World Cup. The reason for this change was the 1966 World Cup massive boycott from African countries. They didn’t agree to play and win a play-off first against another country outside Africa, in order to guarantee World Cup participation. 1 place for Africa was allocated to country Morocco which qualified for the first time. 1 place for Asia was allocated to country Israel which also qualified for the first time. 1970 World Cup match ball “Telstar” – First World Cup ball by Adidas and first ball with an official name World Cup 1970 Groups An aspect which can already be considered as a standardized format is the division of the 16 countries in groups of 4. 6 matches would be played in total per group where every group member would play against the other 3 group members (the round-robin format). FIFA however, announced with this World Cup, not to seed the countries. This means the focus was not on performance and strength. This time the groups were formed according to their geographical groupings and their political situations were also considered. The groups were formed in such a way certain teams would not encounter each other in the Quarter-Finals. 1 point was rewarded for a draw, and 2 points for a win. 2 teams would advance to the next round, the Quarter-Finals. The number 1 teams of the groups played against the number 2 teams of other groups. In this knockout phase, 2 times 15 minutes would be played when after 90 minutes the score is still even. When the score is still even in the Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals after the 30 minutes of ex

He built a fort and left behind Spanish soldiers to hunt for gold on Hispaniola, while he returned to Spain. (These men were later murdered by the inhabitants of the island for mistreating them.) On his second voyage, Columbus took a thousand Spanish colonists to settle in Hispaniola. This was the first European colony in the ‘New World’. These colonists fought among themselves and with the inhabitants of the island. They were greedy and complained that there was not enough gold to make them all rich. They were given land and allowed to force the indigenous people to work for them, but they were still not satisfied. The colonists were also responsible forintroducing foreign epidemic diseases such as influenza, smallpox, measles and typhus, which drastically reduced the indigenous population in the Caribbean within 50 years. Columus’ First Voyage to San Salvador, Cuba and Hispaniola. Source: wikipedia Spain Conquest After Christopher Colombus 'discovered' the Americas in 1492, he was made governor of the new territories. These conquests were soon followed by the colonisation of most of South and Central America, parts of the Caribbean, Mexico and much of the United States of America (USA). In 1494 Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordisillas, which was meant to divide the globe in two spheres of influence, so that the two empires would not interfere with each other's explorations and conquests. West of the line would be Spain's sphere of influence and east would be Portugal's. The line ran through what is today South America and particularly Brazil. The result was that most of South and Central America fell into the hands of Spain. Portugal colonised Brazil, which they discovered in 1500 and lies east of the line of Tordisillas. In the early 16th century, the Spanish began their conquest of the Americas. As far as they went, they subjugated local populations and imposed Christianity upon them. The Spanish soldiers, explorers and other adventurers who conquered these lands were called 'conquistadors', which means conquerors. Many came hoping to make a fortune. The Caribbean islands Hispaniola (which means 'Little Spain' and is today divided into Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico and Cuba were among the first American lands to be conquered. In 1512, the first Spaniards to settle on the American mainland did so in Panama. But not all the American land was brought under Spanish control. In many cases, the conquistadors had to fight against stronger local adversaries before land could be claimed for the Spanish crown. In Mexico, it took Hernán Cortés and his men over 2 years to subdue the Aztec empire. In 1521 he succeeded with the help of Native American allies and called Mexico "New Spain". The fall of the mighty Inca empire followed and was complete the by 1533. The conquistadors were notorious for their cruelty and ferocity. Local populations were enslaved, abused and killed. In 1542, colonial laws were introduced to protect the Amerindians. In 1552 a book about the conquistadors' abuse was published by Bartolomé de las Casas. It was called a Short Account of the Destruction of the West Indies. The American mainland In the early 1500s the Spanish began to conquer the mainland of Central and South America. Vasco NÁºÁ±ez de Balboa, a Spanish merchant, was considered the first of the conquistadors. Balboa is best known as the first European to see the Pacific Ocean. However, his expedition did not end well as one of his rivals, the newly appointed governor of Darien (Panama) had him executed. Today, Panama honours Balboa by naming its


Comprising 100 centavos, and derived from 'gold/silver weights' what is the currency of Mexico?

coins and more: 185) Currency of Mexico: Pesos and Centavos (Part I): The History of Paper Money/Banknotes in Mexico: 185) Currency of Mexico: Pesos and Centavos (Part I): The History of Paper Money/Banknotes in Mexico: 185) Currency of Mexico: Pesos and Centavos (Part I): The History of Paper Money/Banknotes in Mexico: The Peso is the current currency of Mexico with the ISO code “MXN”. The Mexican Peso is subdivided into 100 Centavos which is symbolized with a slashed “c”. The Mexican Peso was the first currency in the world that used the “$” sign as its symbol, which the United States of America (USA) later adopted to denote its own dollar. The literal English and Spanish translations for the word “Peso” is “weight” and Peso was originally the name of a coin that originated in Spain and became of immense importance internationally. The term Peso was originally used to refer to “pesos oro”, (meaning “gold weights”) or “pesos plata” (meaning “silver weights”). Historically, because of their Spanish connection, the term “Peso” is still used to denote the currencies of several former Spanish colonies. Introduction and Acceptance of Paper Money in Mexico: Unlike the circulation of Gold, Silver and Copper coins, it took many years and several attempts for Banknotes to be accepted and used as a payment medium in Mexico. Initially, Banknotes were issued by Private Banks and were therefore a credit instrument. Their acceptance was voluntary and so their use and acceptance depended on each individual. One of the features of these Banknotes was that they were payable in legal tender: in other words, people could exchange them for coins (which at the time were made from precious/fine metal) whenever they so wished. Later on, Banknotes were also issued by the Government and it became compulsory to accept them as such, and it was not necessary to exchange them for metal coins. Over time, metal coins began to be minted in base/industrial metals (in place of precious metals) and became fiduciary money owing to a decrease in their intrinsic value; and after being declared legal tender, Banknotes became the paper money that is used to this day. In Mexico, the usage of paper money dates back to the beginning of the early nineteenth century. First introduction of Banknotes in Mexico: In 1810, Mexico’s War of Independence began for the purpose of ending Spanish rule in New Spain. The War ended on 27.09.1821, with the Army of the Three Guarantees’ taking over Mexico City. The cessation of fighting led to New Spain’s Viceroyalty being thrown into turmoil. During the war of Independence, many Spaniards returned to their homeland while those who stayed behind in New Spain, hid their fortunes. Production at precious metal mines (gold, silver & copper) was reduced both due to miners joining the insurgent troops and attacks and counter-attacks by opposing forces. Transfers of gold and silver from the Royal Mines to Mexico City diminished because the roads were not safe. This triggered a deep economic crisis and reduced the metal content of coins. Due to the need to have a payment medium, a large amount of necessity coins emerged (these coins were so named, because they were made to alleviate the need for currency during this time). Some of these coins were made of gold, but most of them were made of silver and copper. Interestingly, some pieces of cardboard issued in San Miguel el Grande Guanajuato were also circulated, in lieu of metallic coins. These cardboard pieces were hand written in black ink in the denomination of half a real (currency of the period) dated July or August 1813 and signed “Gonzalez”, “Malo” and a third illegible one. It is believed that these signatures belonged to traders or some officials and are regarded as the oldest forerunners of Mexican Banknotes. In 1821, following Independence, Mexico became a monarchy, led by Augustin de Iturbide. After eleven years of armed combat the First Mexican Empire began its reign with an economy in shreds. Agriculture and mining were in a decline. Industry was only just beginning, was s


What iconic Mexican item is named from the translation of 'shade maker'?

Why Mock Spanish is a Problem | Politic365 Why Mock Spanish is a Problem Twitter Borrowing is a linguistic phenomenon that we encounter when two languages come into contact. Basically, it is the adoption of a word from one language into another. Spanish, which has over the years come into contact with more than a few languages, has a vast number of borrowings or préstamos. Many of these borrowings are not even recognized (or recognizable) by native speakers as ‘foreign linguistic material’, such as bodega (grocery or winery) and escuela (school) from Greek, almohada (pillow) andajedrez (chess) from Arabic, and aguacate (avocado) and chocolate (I don’t think this needs a translation) from Nahuatl. English, too, has encountered its fair share of other languages and, as a result, is chock full of borrowings from around the globe. Over the years, Spanish has loaned quite a few words that now go unnoticed in the English lexicon, from patio to canteen, to tobacco, to canoe. Some Spanish words used in English, however, are still quite marked as ‘foreign’ in the minds of many English speakers, although they understand and maybe even use them. These include a great number of food and drink-related vocabulary items from tacos to tequila, titles like don, señor/señora and jefe, and other culturally-loaded words like machismo. The foreignness of these words is often used strategically in media and advertising, and this is where the age-old process of borrowing runs headlong into language ideologies, or sets of beliefs about language held by groups of people to justify and further their own sociopolitical and economic interests. Many of these words are from a special variety of language that anthropologist Jane Hill calls ‘Mock Spanish,’ which is the inauthentic often incorrect use of Spanish by non-speakers of the language to, for example, name and advertise pseudo-Mexican fast food items. Hill explains that while allegedly harmless and all in good fun, Mock Spanish is actually a problematic practice as its very humor relies on negative stereotypes of Latinos, particularly Mexicans. In other words, Mock Spanish is the linguistic equivalent of the  Frito Bandito  or that  Mexican caricature  wearing the large sombrero and a colorful sarape enjoying a siesta under the shade of a saguaro cactus who shows up on paving tiles, bookends and everything in between. Cinco de Mayo has spawned many examples of mock Spanish, from the verbal-visual gag  t-shirt  with five jars of mayonnaise to a certain iconic Mexican beer being advertised a few years back as The Drinko for Cinco™. This last example employs the ever-popular ‘just add o’ rule for creating Mock Spanish nouns from English words. These days, the holiday is frequently referred to as the  Cinco de Drinko . In fact, it seems ‘Cinco de’ has become a productive phrase, generating no end of slogans around this time of year. So far this year, I’ve seen the  Cinco de Gato , a local humane society cat adoption event with a sombrero-wearing cat shaking maracas logo, and the  Cinco de Miler , a 5-mile road race the logo of which features a running stick figure with sombrero and maracas. The borrowing of Spanish words into English and the growing understanding of Spanish words by the English monolingual public are surely indicators of a widespread and flourishing Latino influence in the U.S. It’s important, however, to ask how Spanish is being used and why, what it reflects about the sociocultural context and what stereotypes it encodes and reproduces. As a linguist, I cannot help but see Cinco de Mayo as an annual celebration of Mock Spanish, with new items added to the repertoire every year. TAGS


What disease, introduced by invading forces, killed millions of indigenous Mexican people in the early 1500s?


Which small dog breed originated in Mexico and is named after a central northern state?

Chihuahua - Mexico - HISTORY.com Chihuahua A+E Networks Introduction The largest state in Mexico, Chihuahua is headquarters for the world’s fifth largest oil company, Pertróleos Mexicanos. It is also where one of the smallest canine breeds, the Chihuahua, originated. After railroad travel to the Copper Canyon area was upgraded following privatization of the railroad in 1998, tourism became an important and growing segment of the economy. Attractions include the beautiful Copper Canyon region and Pancho Villa’s mansion. History Early History When the Spanish first arrived in Chihuahua, more than 200 indigenous groups, including Native Americans, already inhabited the area. Although little of this period’s history is recorded, archeologists have found evidence of inhabitants dating as far back as 3,000 years. Some of these tribes include the Tarahumara (Raramuri), Apache, Comanche and Guarojío. For several thousand years, indigenous groups living in Chihuahua maintained trading relations with groups in other areas. Perhaps the most notable inhabitants were the Tarahumara (Raramuri), a people whose rich spiritual ideology, passive resistance and strong cultural identity enabled them to persevere despite foreign intrusions. Other tribes, like the warlike Apache, were overwhelmed and eventually assimilated after the arrival of the Spaniards. Did You Know? During the Mexican Revolution,Chihuahua was a central battleground. Peasant revolutionary leader Francisco "Pancho" Villa fought throughout Chihuahua, demanding that the peasants be apportioned land and be recognized as legitimate participants in Mexican politics. Villa’s famous Northern Division was first assembled in Chihuahua. Middle History Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was the first Spaniard to visit the area. His expedition spanned the territory between Florida in the United States and the Mexican state of Sinaloa . As early as 1567, silver mines were established in Santa Barbara, a region occupied by the Conchos Indians. Many Spaniards poured into the region, forcing the indigenous population to work the mines. Throughout the 16th century, the first Spanish settlements were established around haciendas (country estates) and mining operations. Some Franciscan missions and Carapoa villages were also founded in the mid-1500s. Although the military garrisons at El Paso and Ciudad Juárez were both built in 1598, the Spanish colonizers exerted fairly loose control over the region during most of the 16th century. With the mining industry growing steadily into the 17th century, Chihuahua was named the capital of the province of Nueva Vizcaya. From 1640 to 1731, the area experienced increased economic activity and, concomitantly, frequent indigenous uprisings. Tensions developed between the miners and the hacienda owners who continued to force indigenous groups into slavery. Recent History In the Mexican War of Independence, Chihuahua hacienda owners and miners sided with the royalist forces against the independence movement. However, Mexico’s independence in 1821 forced leaders in Chihuahua to join the new country. The 1821 Plan of Iguala established the framework that consolidated the new republic; later, the region of Durango separated from Chihuahua and became an autonomous province. Chihuahua officially became a Mexican state in 1824; the state constitution was ratified the following year. In 1830, an ethnic war broke out in Chihuahua that nearly exterminated the indigenous Apache and Comanche tribes. During the Mexican Revolution , which began in 1910, Chihuahua was again a central battleground. Peasant revolutionary leader Francisco “Pancho” Villa fought throughout Chihuahua, demanding that the peasants be apportioned land and be recognized as legitimate participants in Mexican politics. Villa’s famous Northern Division was first assembled in Chihuahua. Following the revolution, Chihuahua remained a hub of Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) influence. Because of its proximity to the United States, Chihuahua was strategically important to Mexico . The region was also c


What two-word name given to Mexico's mountain ranges means 'Mother Mountains'?

Mountain - The shape of the land, Forces and changes, Spotlight on famous forms, For More Information Mountain Mountain Photo by: Galyna Andrushko Mountains loom large on the face of the planet. These rocky landforms, which tower    over all others on Earth, are places of extreme temperatures and winds.    Reaching high into the atmosphere, mountains form a barrier against moving    air, robbing it of any precipitation. The tops of many mountains are laden    with glossy caps of snow and ice. The summits of the highest mountains are    often shrouded in mists and clouds. Mountains also loom large in people's imaginations. Throughout    human history, many people have regarded these mysterious places as the    domain or home of supernatural beings or gods. Others have seen them as    the ultimate in human adventure. Mountain climbing is viewed as an extreme    test of human endurance and desire. Many climbers have succeeded in    scaling the summits of the world's highest mountains; others have died trying. The shape of the land A mountain is any landmass on Earth's surface that rises abruptly    to a great height in comparison to its surrounding landscape. By    definition, a mountain rises 1,000 feet (305 meters) or more above its    surroundings and has steep sides meeting in a summit that is much narrower    in width than the mountain's base. Any highland that rises no    higher than 1,000 feet (305 meters) above its surroundings, has a rounded    top, and is less rugged in outline than a mountain is considered a hill.    High hills at the base of mountains are known as foothills. Mountains cover approximately one-fifth of Earth's land surface.    Although rare, a mountain can exist singly, such as Mount Kilimanjaro in    northeast Tanzania. Most mountains, however, occur as a group, called a    mountain range. An example of a mountain range is the Sierra Nevada, The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest, located on the       border of Tibet and Nepal. Its frozen summit stands 29,035 feet       above sea level . PHOTOGRAPH REPRODUCED BY PERMISSION OF THE CORBIS CORPORATION . which extends for about 400 miles (643 kilometers) in eastern California.    A group of mountain ranges that share a common origin and form is known as    a mountain system. The Sierra Madre, which arises just south of the U.S.    border and extends south, is Mexico's chief mountain system. A    group of mountain systems is called a mountain chain. The Pyrenees forms a    mountain chain in southwest Europe between Spain and France. Finally, a    complex group of mountain ranges, systems, and chains is called a mountain    belt or cordillera (pronounced kor-dee-YARE-ah). The North American    Cordillera runs from Alaska to Guatemala and includes all of the mountains    and elevated plateaus in that vast region. Like everything else in the natural world, mountains go though a life    cycle. They rise from a variety of causes and wear down over time at    various rates. The building up of mountains takes millions of years, and    the process has been occurring since Earth's beginning over 4.5    billion years ago. Yet as soon as their rocks are exposed to the erosive    actions of water and wind, mountains begin to fracture and dissolve. This    explains the high and rugged appearance of young mountains and the lower    and smoother appearance of older mountains. Some mountains that once    existed on the planet hundred of millions of years ago have long since    eroded away. Orogeny (pronounced o-RAH-je-nee) is the word scientists use to describe    the process of mountain building. (Orogeny comes from the Greek words oro , meaning "mountain," and geneia , meaning "born.") There are several distinct types of    mountains, each having formed through varying causes: volcanic mountains,    upwarped mountains, folded mountains, and fault-block mountains.

The official national sport of Mexico, the charreada (or charrería), involves?

Charreria and Maricahis in Guadalajara, Mexico | VisitMexico Listen Charreria is the official national sport of Mexico. But more than just a sport, it represents Mexican culture, tradition and history as it involves equestrian competitions in which horse riding, roping and cattle handling come in to play. Charreria originally developed on the haciendas of Mexico where workers would try to outdo one another with their horse riding and roping skills, effectively turning these tasks into an art form. Workers from different haciendas would compete against one another at competitions. With the dissolution of the haciendas following the Mexican Revolution, charrería transitioned into a sport with formal competitions, called charreadas. Mariachi music and charreria are intertwined; the two traditions developed concurrently in the west of Mexico. The traditional music at charreadas is performed by mariachis, who dress like charros (horse riders) but in brighter colors and with greater ornamentation. The advent of Mexican cinema contributed to the image of the charro and solidified the association with mariachi music. Mexican actors Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante portrayed charros in movies of the 1940s and 50s, glorifying the image of the noble charro who represented strength, masculinity and all that is Mexican. Attend a charreada on your visit to Guadalajara to experience this cultural manifestation for yourself. Within the competition there are nine different scored events called suertes, plus an event for women riders called escaramuza. There are strict rules and the charros are scored based on speed, style and precision. The event can last for several hours so buy a cold drink and some snacks from the passing vendors and be amazed by the skill, speed and bravery of the competitors. Besides the competition aspect, the charreada is a festive event that also involves music and food. For the best display of charreria attend the Mexican National Charro Championship, held as part of the International Mariachi and Charreria Festival in Guadalajara each September. The best mariachis and charros from around the world gather for this event, which also includes concerts and a grand parade running through the streets of Guadalajara's historic downtown district.


The drink Tequila is named after a Mexican?

How to Drink Tequila Like a Mexican | Indiana Jo How to Drink Tequila Like a Mexican Published on 22 August, 2014 Do you have a (completely rational) fear of tequila? Do you flat-out hate the stuff? If so, I can almost guarantee that you’re drinking it wrong. After spending a year in Mexico, I finally learned the secret: how to drink tequila like a Mexican… and actually enjoy this potent drink. How to drink Tequila like a European /American /Canadian /Australian [insert your home country]* (*delete as appropriate) Photo by: scani Before we get into the details of how to drink tequila like a Mexican, let’s take a good hard stare at how the rest of us tend to approach the subject of tequila drinking…or should I say tequila slamming. More often that not, it goes a little something like this: Enter bar, consume a dozen or so other drinks. Realise it’s past midnight and a) you want to dance or b) you still feel too sober to call it a good Friday night. Shout to your friends, “Tequilas?!” After a mixed reactions of “hell yeahs” (from the people who think they’re sober but definitely aren’t) and “urghhh, I hate tequila” (from the people who are actually sober), head to the bar. Ordering process: “[x number of] tequilas please.” Return to friends with tray full of evil clear liquid in shot glasses complete with a scattering of lime wedges and salt. Add salt to back of hand. Deep breath. Get a wedge of lime ready to drown out the tequila pain. Take another deep breath. Get beer bottle within grabbing distance, in case the lime doesn’t work. Double deep breath. Round of chanting with friends. “One…” Try to swallow as your throat closes in protest. Swallow harder while trying to breathe through your nose. Finally swallow the liquid which burns all the way down to your stomach. Shove a ridiculously large amount of sharp citrus into your mouth and suck on it like you’re a new-born given your first dummy/pacifier. Discard lime, take huge swig of beer and wipe tears from your eyes. Cheer at the round of empty glasses and breathe a secret sigh of relief that it’s over… Until some b@stard (who think’s they’re sober but really isn’t) shouts “Another round!” Often, after the first tequila, this process is repeated until your memory turns blank in the way it would do if you were hit in the back of the head by a shovel – which actually feels as though it might have happened when you wake up the next morning, fully clothed, lying face down in the running position wondering why, why, why and swearing never again. “Tequila, it makes me happy. Tequila, I feel alright.” Lyrics from chart hit “Tequila” by UK band Terrorvision . The problem was tequila didn’t make me happy and it certainly didn’t make me feel alright…until I learned how to drink tequila like a Mexican. The above is a formula I’ve seen played out in bars, clubs and even restaurants around the world. Hell, I’ve drunk tequila that way in bars, clubs and restaurants around the world. So much so that when I went to Mexico, I was adamant I didn’t want to touch the stuff. No longer in my 20’s, the tequila hangovers were not worth it and I’d long disqualified this Mexican spirit on the grounds it simply didn’t taste good. When I explained this to my Mexican friends there was a unanimous response – the reason I didn’t like tequila was because I was drinking it all wrong. And, with that realisation, I was booked in for some intense re-education – I was sent to the town of Tequila, Jalisco; the town that is home to Jose Cuervo; the birthplace of tequila; and the town where I finally learned how to drink tequila like a Mexican. How to drink tequila like a Mexican Beautiful blue agave plants decorating the city of Guadalajara. If I had to identify where us non-Mexicans go wrong in our tequila drinking, I’d say right at the very first step. Because, for the most part, tequila is a drink we use to accelerate the D in Drunk (or P in Pissed if we’re being really British about it). But there’s a more fundamental reason why people drink tequila as a quick shot – because tequila outside of Mexico simp


In Mexico how many cheek kisses are customary in greetings between women friends, or a woman and man?

Cheek Kissing in Mexico | RiverGirl Cheek Kissing in Mexico In addition to liking the Mexican custom of saying Provecho I also like the common custom of greeting people by kissing them on the cheek. In Mexico the custom is to greet a person by kissing their right cheek just once. Let me clarify and say that men here don’t kiss each other on the cheek, they usually do a pat on the back kind of hug that is sometimes preceded by a handshake. But men will greet women with a cheek kiss. And women greet both women and men with a cheek kiss. Not everyone gets a cheek kiss, only certain people in your circle are going to expect one. Neither my husband nor myself greets our housekeeper with a cheek kiss, it just doesn’t feel right. And usually I won’t greet someone I am meeting for the first time with a cheek kiss, but sometimes if they are young, or if we are being introduced by a close friend I will give a kiss to a new acquaintance.  And we normally don’t greet neighbors with a cheek kiss because they are too familiar, we see them too often for it to be practical. But when the person you are greeting is a friend or acquaintance usually a cheek kiss is in order. There are all kinds of cheek kisses and they mean all kinds of things.  Some of the more memorable types of cheek kisses are: ~ The “I actually don’t like you but I’m kissing you to be polite” kiss. This one is usually given by and to women. It’s often given as just a “mwah” sound in your right ear, there’s not any touching of cheeks and usually there’s no pretense made to pretend to hug. ~ Then there’s the “I’ve got loads of make-up on (and/or a hat on) so don’t mess me up by touching me” kiss. This one also normally involves just a kiss sound in your ear with no cheek touching. But if there’s an accidental touch, and the person really does like you, they will apologize for the lipstick they just put on your cheek. ~ There’s also the “I don’t want your spouse/partner to realize I like you so I’m going to kiss you just a little wrong and maybe he/she won’t notice” kiss. This kiss is a little too emphatic, sometimes it’s too wet and sometimes it lands too close to the edge of your mouth and doesn’t make it quite onto your cheek proper. ~ But the very best kind of cheek kiss is the “It’s really good to see you” kiss. This is the only kiss that should take place imho. This is the one where you really mean it and they do too and both parties feel totally at ease. I first learned the “It’s really good to see you” cheek kiss from my husband’s family and Mexican friends back when we were living in the U.S. So by the time I came to Mexico I was used to the cheek kissing custom. Now, after 8 years of being around lots of cheek kissing Mexicans, I’ve found that greeting people with a cheek kiss is very simply normal. And when I travel back to the U.S. I gleefully inflict cheek kissing on my friends there, whether they are expecting it or not. And if they aren’t quite expecting it I cover my totally intentional cheek kiss by saying “I’m Mexican now, so I can’t help it.” Ha! I think that the thing I really like about cheek kissing is that it softens the social edge between people, and it does so right at the beginning of the conversation. If you start off with a cheek kiss then you are starting with trust and mutual appreciation. Similar Posts
