ETHNICITY · 54 article mentions
Latin America is the cultural region of the Americas where Romance languages are predominantly spoken, primarily Spanish and Portuguese. It is defined according to cultural identity, not geography. As such, it includes countries in both North and South America. For example, countries from North America like Mexico tend to be included, while English-speaking countries in South America like Guyana or Caribbean countries like Jamaica are often not considered. Most of the countries in Central America, South America and the Caribbean are considered Latin American countries. Commonly, it refers to Hispanic America plus Brazil. Related terms are the narrower Hispanic America, which exclusively refers to Spanish-speaking nations, and the broader Ibero-America, which includes all Iberic countries in the Americas. English and Dutch-speaking countries and territories—although in the same geographical region—are often excluded.
