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


€du@rdo 5775
No, It isn't

Latin America... Countries that speak Spanish and Brazil


Tix
I hafta agree with MD above. Good answer.

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.

NO

South America is a subcontinent with 12 independent countries: Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname. It's a geographic term.

Latin America is all countries in America that speak a romance language (hence the name).

Guyana and Suriname belong to South America but not to Latin America.

Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, etc, belong to Latin America but not to South America.


?
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.

Latin America are Spanish Speaking countries such as; Colombia, Peru, Ecuador but Brazil is not Spanish Speaking; it's French so not all of South America is Latin America.


bigonegrande
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'


JSYM
latin America comes from South America because it has countries such as brazil, argentina, paraguay, peru etc.
