Amit Schandillia asked:

I am planning to visit northern Mexico later this year and am learning the Mexican dialect of Spanish for that reason. Can someone tell me what are the main differences between the Spanish of northern Mexico (e.g., Monterrey) and the Spanish spoken in the rest of Mexico?

Also, I have come across the following words for “boy” in Spanish:

Muchaho
Chamaco
Chavo
Chico
Nino

What I want to know is, which of the above words is the most commonly used in Monterrey or northern Mexico?
