Definition of the supraregion
Latin America is a term used most commonly to indicate as a whole the countries that comprise Central America and South America. More particularly, as noted on Wikipedia:
- Latin America designates all of those countries and territories in the Americas where a Romance language (i.e., languages derived from Latin, and hence the name of the region) is spoken: Spanish, Portuguese, and French, and the creole languages based upon these.
It is a controversial term to some, and may be used differently by inhabitants of different regions.
Spanish and Portuguese are the predominant languages of Latin America (with Portuguese spoken only in Brazil, the most populous country in the region).
See Central America for a list of the countries in that region.
See South America for a list of the countries in that region.
