Spanish is not solely official in Mexico

Mexico has no official language, it only has 63 national languages of which Spanish is one.--Maunus (talk) 16:06, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

There is a lot of dispute over this. The person that keeps reverting the changes you made claims that Spanish is a co-official language, so why do the maps keep changing? Technically shouldn't Mexico be blue? Countries such as Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay are colored blue. According to the Wikipedia article "Languages of Mexico", "The Law of Linguistic Rights establishes Spanish as one of the country's national languages, along with 68 distinct indigenous indigenous languages (from seven different families, and other four isolated languages)." So does this mean that Mexico is de facto officially multilingual? The dominant language of Mexico is Spanish, but the other languages appear to be equal to Spanish, and therefore that should be recognized on this map. How many de facto official languages does Mexico have? The constant reverting is not helping. This needs to come to an agreement. Viller the Great (talk) 04:45, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Mexico should definitely be blue - all indigenous languages (63 of them per the original legislation) have the same political status as Spanish in Mexican legislation.--Maunus (talk) 07:47, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I want to know why is the map constantly reverted. Both Irremplazablemadrid and now Serenadomval (who I believe are the same person) keep reverting the map, ignoring the discussion we have had on this talk page. Both users that keep reverting are clearly stating that Spanish is an official language, in any case a co-official language. Then why are they reverting the page if they are acknowledging the fact Spanish is co-official in Mexico? Mexico clearly has multiple official languages, Spanish is an official language, but the other indigenous languages are official as well. We do not have to keep stating this. Irremplazablemadrid and Serenadomval claim the exact same thing, and both have only edited this image. Therefore, we can assume Serenadomval is a sockpuppet of Irremplazablemadrid, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. What do you guys think? Mexico should be blue, not red.

@Fitoschido: @Viller the Great: @Maunus: I have reverted the file to the version with Mexico colored blue since it is undisputed that Mexico has 60+ recognized national languages on equal terms in their legislation, among them, Spanish. A file protection could be needed to prevent more changes against consensus. Inhakito (talk) 10:36, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much Inhakito. A file protection would be appropriate, but I am not sure how that would be attained. Only certain users can do that I believe. It appears that yet another sockpuppet, Volvorettaitalia, showed up and did the exact same changes. Hopefully this an end to this problem can be achieved soon.
