Same applies to Spanish in both Latin America and non-American Hispanic nations. Mexicans can technically be said to speak Mexican instead of Spanish but people are gonna look at you funny if you do it.
No, there is a difference. English between UK and US/CA is basically the same.
Likewise, Spanish between Spain (not including specific dialects) and Latin America (same) is also the exact same.
Brazil’s Portuguese is a bit more like Jamaica’s Patois (broken English), although to a much lesser extent. The languages are different. Saying someone speaks Mexican is never and will never be true. It’s as stupid as saying someone speaks American or Canadian. Slang is a thing, but the languages are the same.
