Question: Which term more is more closely aligned with Spanish heritage, Latino or Hispanic? 

<P0-S0> Latino ( or ) is a term often used in the United States to refer to people with cultural ties to Latin America and people of nationalities within the bounds of Latin America, in contrast to "Hispanic" which is a demonym that includes Spaniards and other speakers of the Spanish language. <SEP> <P1-S0> Hispanismo or Hispanicism is an ideology, school of thought and historiographic current centered on Spanish heritage. <P1-S1>  In Hispanic America it is similar but opposite to indigenismo. <P1-S2>  The view of hispanismo holds that "countries" should not deny their cultural roots because in doing so they are denying themselves. <P1-S3>  In the case of Hispanic America these cultural roots are Spanish and indigenous. <P1-S4>  An important detail is that in hispanismo the Spanish roots are implicitly more important than the indigenous roots. <P1-S5>  Hispanismo consist of Hispanic American countries building upon their "own heritage" which would be the same as Spanish heritage. <SEP> <P2-S0>  It commonly applies to countries once owned by the Spanish Empire in the Americas (see Spanish colonization of the Americas) and Asia, particularly the countries of Hispanic America and the Philippines. <P2-S1>  It could be argued that the term should apply to all Spanish-speaking cultures or countries, as the historical roots of the word specifically pertain to the Iberian region. <P2-S2>  It is difficult to label a nation or culture with one term, such as "Hispanic", as the ethnicities, customs, traditions, and art forms (music, literature, dress, culture, cuisine, and others) vary greatly by country and region. <P2-S3> The term Hispanic (Spanish: "hispano" or "hispánico" ) broadly refers to the people, nations, and cultures that have a historical link to Spain. <P2-S4>  The Spanish language and Spanish culture are the main distinctions. <SEP> <P3-S0> Hispanic Americans and Latino Americans (Spanish: "hispanos" ; ] ) are people in the United States of America who are descendants of the Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries of Latin America and Spain. <P3-S1>  It is the largest population of Latino Americans and Hispanics outside of Latin America. <P3-S2>  More generally, it includes all persons in the United States who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino, whether of full or partial ancestry. <P3-S3>  For the 2010 United States Census, people counted as "Hispanic" or "Latino" were those who identified as one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the census questionnaire ("Mexican," "Puerto Rican," or "Cuban") as well as those who indicated that they were "other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino." <P3-S4>  The national origins classified as Hispanic or Latino by the United States Census Bureau are the following: Spanish, Argentine, Cuban, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Dominican, Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, Panamanian, Salvadoran, Bolivian, Chilean, Ecuadorian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Uruguayan, and Venezuelan. <P3-S5>  Other U.S. government agencies have slightly different definitions of the term, including Brazilians and other Portuguese-speaking groups. <P3-S6>  The Census Bureau uses the terms Hispanic and Latino interchangeably.
