Spanish are a mixture of original Spanish Europeans and Moors from, if I'm not mistaken, the Sicilian region.
Mexicans are Mayan Indians mixed with Spanish conquestdor conquerers. The darker Mexicans have more Spanish/Moor ancestry, the lighter Mexicans who look more like American Indians are more Mayan.

I believe Spanish people come from Spain, and Mexican people come from Mexico. Yes they are 2 different races really.

People from Spain speak Portuguese I don't know what language Mexicans spoke before the Spanish invaded Mexico. Brazilians speak Portuguese influenced by Spanish Shipping. South America has a lot of different dialects do to explorers
