Do Latin America refer to Portuguese colonial?

No, Latin America primarily refers to regions in the Americas where Romance languages, such as Spanish and Portuguese, are spoken due to colonial influence. While Portuguese colonialism significantly impacted Brazil, the term "Latin America" encompasses Spanish-speaking countries as well. Thus, while Portuguese colonial history is a part of Latin America, the term itself is broader and includes multiple countries with diverse colonial backgrounds.
