your wrong about that ...check the term Latino in the dictonary ..has nothing to do with Latin based lanquage ...Latino = Someone that is from Latin America. So Italy, Spain,ect are Europeans and not Latinos....
Hispanic:
Of or pertaining to the language ,people, and culture of Spain,Portugal, or Latin America. An American of Spanish or Latin-American Orgin or descent.
Latino:
A native or inhabitant of Latin America
Latin America:
The countries of the Western Hemisphere south of the United States, especially those speaking Spanish, Portuguese, or French.
so if you follow the webster dictonary i would consider Brazilian a Latino ;) as well as Hispanic |
That's because you should've looked for "Latin", not "Latino" ;) "Latino", as far as I know, is the expression brought to the US by Spanish-speaking immigrants (Mexican, Puerto Rican...) and it was extended to pretty much anyone living in the South of Rio Grande, since you guys usually think we all speak the same language or understand each other without major problems (I wish, this would've saved me 3 years of studies in Spanish language).
"Latin" is the adjective that comes from the word "Lazio", place where Rome was founded. Everything related to the culture and language that comes from the Roman empire is "Latin" (hence "Latin America" being a place where we all speak Latin languages).
As for Hispanic....
Hispanic: 1. Of or pertaining to Spain and its language, people and culture. 2. Having cultural origins in Iberia.
I admit I thought "Hispanic" was only related to "Spanish", but that's because it's a misleading name.
Latino: Latin America
Hispanic: Latin America + Iberia
Latin countries: Hispanic countries + France + Italy + Romania, etc... |

cheers lira !!
i was about to reply to that post as well, cause he missunderstood a bit ...
was having some difficulties on how to explain the differences n make it clear for everyone .
thats it !
:)
Italians, Spanish, Portugueses ... our language came originaly from the latin ... n we suffered cultural influences from the Roman Empire for many many years... therefore we've got a lot in commun .
N nowadays we're called latins when to generalize.
I voted for latin accent cause i couldn't vote only for the italian, cause there r differences between our accents (portuguese is not a nice one ... n it sounds much better when spoken by brazilians)!!
italian is the most beuttiful languange to me, it just sounds great

You know what was sexy in Rocky when Stallone touches gloves in the final fight with Ivan and the comrade says: "I must break you."
Made me feel so proud to be a Ruskiy!!! He really should have won that fight, no reason not to - he dominated!!! (except of course it's an american movie so...) |
