Best Answer

Latin America

, refers to the countries of America that speak

romance languages

, languages derived from latin. So it includes all countries that speak Portuguese, Spanish and French. Actually even though technically French is a latin language those countries usually are not considered Latin American since they're so different in terms of languare, culture, history, races, economy, etc, that it makes no sence to group them with the rest. That's why the term Iberian American would be the ideal. There are 20

countries in Latin America

:


Brazil


Uruguay


Argentina


Chile


Paraguay


Bolivia


Peru


Ecuador


Colombia


Venezuela


Panama


Costa Rica


Nicaragua


Honduras


El Salvador


Guatemala


Mexico


Cuba


Dominican Republic


Puerto Rico (which is not an independent country)
