Answer 4

Answer 5

Some Spanish speaking people call their daughter (which in Spanish is hija) mija. This means "my little girl".  Please note that there is no such a language as Mexican. Mexicans speak Spanish.

Answer 6

First lets clarify one thing for lots of people, there is no such thing as Mexican language. In Mexico the official language is Spanish. With that said the "mija" comes from two words, "mia"(my) and "hija" (daughter). to utilize this words in short version a lot of people will say "mija" instead of "mi hija". mija is well used in Mexico and it is a sweet way to call ones daughter; just like most people will call their daughters "sweetheart" in the U.S.

Answer 7

Mexicans speak Spanish just like Americans speak English.  Accents happen...

Answer 8

mija is short for mi hija...it means my daughter or my little girl

Answer 9

Mi hija, daughter or little girl in Spanish. It is the official language of Mexico but there is slang and idiomatic expressions as there are in any language. The language of the northern states is much abbreviated in conversation.

Answer 10

IT MEANS DAUGHTER, AND IN MEXICO THEY SPEAK SPANISH NOT MEXICAN, MEXICAN IS THE CITIZEN, AND SPANISH IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

Answer 11

"miha" as you put it, is "mi hija". The "h" is silent, so the "i" sound in "mi" and "i" sound in "hija" run together. "Mi" is "my" and "hija" is "daughter". That's what I call my little girls.

Answer 12

Jajajajajaja yes, its the same!!! The mexican people we speak Spanish, because if you open your history book´s, you´ll see in 1519 Hernan Cortes they came to México, and for that reason all Latin America we speak in spanish, with exception of Brasil.
