The aims of this article are a) to describe the tonal configurations used in statements of contact Spanish in the area of San Miguel Canoa, Puebla, and b) to show the relationship between pitch accents and social variables such as gender, age, educational level, and bilingualism of the informants. The analysis of these semi-spontaneous speech utterances showed that i) it is a variety that promotes the use of pitch accents with (very) early-peak alignment, such as H*, L+H* and L+>H*, both in prenuclear and nuclear positions, ii) the nuclear pitch configurations L+H* L% and L+>H* L%, reinforced by the upstep diacritic at times, characterize the statements of broad, narrow and contradiction focus in this variety of Spanish, and iii) the use of pitch accents whose peak its early it is correlated with adults or older people, who have a low or no educational level, and who are usually bilingual Nahuatl-Spanish. These findings contribute to research on prosodic contact and prosody of Mexican Spanish
