Is Latin America is the same as South America? |
Travel Info Is Latin America is the same as South America? Travel Tips No. Latin America refers to any country in America whose language derives from latin, so any spanish, french or portuguese speaking country qualyfies, so countries like Mexico (north America), Haiti (caribbean/central America), Nicaragua (central America) or Brazil (south America) are latin. Remember, the name America refers only to the continent, it's not the name of any country in particular Others latin America comes from South America because it has countries such as brazil, argentina, paraguay, peru etc. Latin America is the territories extending from Mexico down thru Central America (El Salvador, Panama, etc.) down to South America. You can also include the Spanish speaking countries of the Carribean (Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Rep.) as part of Latin America. No, Latin America consists on all the countries that speak Spanish and Portuguese including the ones that are in Central America, North America and the Caribbean. IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY, BUT IT IS CUSTOMARY TO CALLED LIKE THAT FOR MANY YEARS; SO YOU CALL 'LATIN AMERICA' 'CENTRAL AMERICA' AND 'THE CARIBBEAN' I hafta agree with MD above. Good answer. No, It isn't Latin America... Countries that speak Spanish and Brazil |
