Latin America

Latin America (Portuguese/Spanish: América Latina) is the region of the Americas where Romance languages - those derived from Latin - are officially or primarily spoken. Latin America is distinct from Anglo-America, a region of the Americas where English, a Germanic language, predominates.
Geopolitically, Latin America is divided into 20 independent countries and several dependent territories. Spanish is predominant and an official language in most Latin American countries, with the exception of Brazil where Portuguese prevails.
