Hispanoamérica

Hispanoamérica refers to Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, including Mexico, most Central American nations, many Caribbean islands like Cuba and the Dominican Republic, and most South American countries such as Argentina, Colombia, and Peru. These countries share a historical and cultural connection through Spanish colonization, language, and some traditions. However, they also have diverse indigenous influences, local customs, and histories. Hispanoamérica distinguishes these nations from others in Latin America, such as Brazil, which speaks Portuguese, and from non-Spanish-speaking Caribbean countries. It highlights a common linguistic and cultural heritage within the Spanish-speaking part of Latin America.
