Talk:Ladino people

message: I am at odds with the notion that 'Ladino' is derived from Latino. I believe that contemporary readers (particularly from the US) will take this to mean that 'Ladino' is a product of the current demonym 'Latino'. This is clearly untrue. As a matter of fact, 'Ladino' does derive from the Latin 'Latino', but probably through the Spanish 'ladino', an adjective meaning '1. adj. Astuto, sagaz, taimado.'  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.62.119.157 (talk) 09:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Ladino derived from Latino

message: It's in Guatemala that the term "Ladino" is most commonly used, isn't it? I believe that the article restricts the meaning of the term too much and too closely identifies it with people in power. 
The term refers to those who combine Hispanic culture but Mayan ancestry. From what I've read, Ladino is most often used to apply to people whose ancestry is largely or exclusively indigenous but who themselves speak Spanish as a native language and who do not identify themselves as being indigenous in culture. I'm not sure how far, in ordinary practice, Guatemalans refer to people who combine Hispanic culture and mestizo or European ancestry. I think that in general this is the unmarked ethnic term and such people are not commonly given a special name. I think the four ethnic divisions most used are those represented by the following terms:indigena/Mayan/Indian (this latter is often considered insulting), Ladino, mestizo/Guatemalan (this is, I think, the unmarked or default category), blanco, Garifuna/negro.

replies: text: I lived in Guatemala for some years and regularly return. Ladino is used to refer to any Guatemalan using western dress, using Spanish as their first language and not identifying with an indigenous ethnicity, this includes non-indigenous people from the thoroughly Hispanicised lowlands, such as the departments of Santa Rosa, Zacapa, Escuintla etc. as well as people of relatively recent indigenous descent who do not conform to indigenous cultural values, for instance immigrants to Petén. The popular Guatemalan belief is certainly that ladino is derived from ladrón. Simon Burchell (talk) 17:10, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
