Latin American Countries
Latin America refers to the parts of the Americas where Romance languages, chiefly Spanish and Portuguese, are dominant. It covers Mexico, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central America and South America, Portuguese-speaking Brazil, and a few Caribbean nations. The term is cultural rather than strictly geographic, which is why English-speaking countries in the same regions are excluded.
