Hi, I'm mexican and in the capital they only speak Spanish.
There are palces for tourists or that kind of people like hotels, restaurants in nice zones that speak a bit of English, but I can't assure you can survive in that city with no Spanish.
But don't worry, the city's really cool. U should come.

If it's not English then I'd guess Nahuatl, the Aztec language. I'm just guessing though. I've spent a lot of time in the Yucatan and Mayan is many people's first language there so I'm guessing that Mexico City may be the same in the sense that it would be a first nations language.

There is no second language in Mexico City. All signs in the museums and all public places are in spanish.
In Mexico City, nothing run by the government (even museums) make any attempt at communicating in any language other than spanish. However, businesses almost always have someone who speaks english. Young people (15 and older) are sometimes suprisingly good at english.
If you are polite, almost everyone will attempt communication if you ask. Learn some spanish and most will find you charming :)

Number one language there is Spanish. Number 2 is Nahuatl (mostly poor people) and number 3 is English. Most people that speak Nahuatl speak spanish so you probably wont realize that the Nahuatl speakers are there. Mexico city's population seems to have lots of native descent.
