The Mexican population consists out predominantly of Mestizos (~90 %), which are the result of post-Columbian admixture between Amerindians and Spaniards, principally, and Africans inlesser extent. Mestizos speak Spanish and live in both urban and rural communities throughout the Mexican territory.
