Hispanic is an anglasized form of a person from Hispania, which is latin for Spain.

Latin is latin, and a latino is a anglasized from of a person from Latin, but there is an error in form. There was never a person from "Latin" but "Latin" was the language spoken in the Roman empire, and today, and it is erroneous to refer a person from Spanish speaking America as a Latino, as it is erroneous to refer to a person from Spanish speaking America as a Hispanic. They're not. They're either Incas, Aztecs, or Mestizos.

A true Latino is a southern European such as a Spaniard, an Italian or a Portuguese, and a true Hispanic is strictly a Spaniard. The rest of them are mutts, (and don't take that a negative way, as it is great to come from different heritages).

Hispanics/Latinos are approximately a far of a race as Jews. First of all, in step with a couple of resources you simply have got to talk Spanish to be Hispanic. Most individuals from Central America, South America, or Spanish-Speaking nations within the Caribbean are combined Spanish, the local populace of that field (i.e. in the event that they reside in Mexico, Mayan or Aztec) and repeatedly African or Asian. FYI Usually on scan Hispanic without problems way of Spanish speakme respectable.

Stupid, Latin and Latino are the same words. Only that in English and French there is no "o" at the end of the word same as American and Americano. Latino is only a Language, the language spoken by the Romans,ancient Italians, and the language that they imposed upon the Spaniards when they colonized that area and called it Hispania.

Hispanics= anyone from a country where Spanish is the spoken language.

Latino = anyone from Mexico or Latin America.

Latin = the language that the Romans spoke. Spanish and French are languages that originated from Latin and are considered Romantic languates (romantic meaning decended from Rome, not love)

Spanish: A language. It could also mean something that came from Spain
