In the 1800s, the primary languages spoken in Santa Fe were Spanish and English. Spanish was prevalent due to the region's colonial history and its status as part of Mexico until the U.S. annexation in 1846. English became more widely spoken after New Mexico became a U.S. territory, as American settlers moved into the area. Additionally, various Indigenous languages were also spoken by Native American communities in the region.
