发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word rhymes exactly with Mexican /ˈmɛksəkən/. The -ican forms (American, African, Anglican, Republican) share the spelling suffix but differ in stress and vowel sounds, so they do not rhyme. Texan /ˈtɛksən/ is the closest sound match, sharing the stressed /ɛ/ and /ks/, but it has two syllables instead of three.
