Definition eedit

 
Laitin American kintras (green) in the Americas

Laitin Americae (Spaingie: América Latina or Latinoamérica; Portuguese: América Latina; French: Amérique latine) is the region o the Americas whaur Romance leids (i.e., thae derivit frae Laitin—pairticularly Spaingie an Portuguese, an variably French—are primarily spoken.[35][36]

It includes mair nor 20 naitions: Mexico in North Americae; Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica an Panama in Central Americae; Colombie, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivie, Chile, Paraguay, Brazil, Argentinae an Uruguay in Sooth Americae; Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, an Puerto Rico in the Caribbean—in summar, Hispanic Americae, Brazil, an Haiti.

If we consider this definition strictly, we shoud consider Canadae an in pairticular Quebec as pairt o Laitin Americae. The raison ahint this is that Canadae haes French as ane o its offeecial leids alangside wi Inglis, an in pairticular Quebec is the anerlie Canadian province wi a predominantly French-speakin population an the anerlie ane whose sole offeecial leid is French at the provincial level. But this region is rarely considered sae, syne its history, distinctive cultur an economy, an Breetish-inspired poleetical institutions are generally deemit too closely intertwined wi the rest o Canadae.[37]

Laitin Americae, tharefore, can be defined as aw thae pairts o the Americas that wur ance pairt o the French, Spaingie, or Portuguese Empires.[38]
