Home reading - Veracruz
Spanish is the official and heavily dominant language in Veracruz. Nahuatl is still spoken and
common use in some towns and zones like Zongolica, Papantla, Mixtequilla and
Huayacocotla. There are minor areas of Italian speakers near Huatusco and Tuxtlas, where
Venetto is common use and there are a very few Greek speakers in towns near Rinconada, the
"gitanos" (Gypsy). As well on the region of the low San Rafael, the French is predominant,
due to the settle of the remaining Maximilian of Hapsburg troops that were allowed to stay,
after they were defeated, on the fall of the second empire in the XIX century. Also needs to be
mentioned: Catalan, Basque, Gaelic, and more Spaniard dialects that were brought and kept
by their descendants. Although some people know essentials of English, mainly in commerces
or touristic zones of big cities, locals never use it to communicate.
