Korean Mexicans (Spanish: Coreano-Mexicanos, Korean: 한국계 멕시코인) are ethnic Koreans born in Mexico, total at about 15,000 of Korean descent in the 1999 census. The majority of them reside in Baja California, the state facing California, the US; along with smaller concentrations in northern Mexico.


Language

The language of the assimilated Korean-Mexicans is predominantly Spanish, but a new wave of Korean-Mexicans speak Spanish and/or English. There are many English-learning Korean-Mexican schools (escuelas coreanas) for the recent Korean immigrants. Only a selected number speak Korean.
