Are people from Equatorial Guinea considered hispanics/Latino?

Question

Equatorial Guinea is the only country in Africa whose official language is Spanish. All spanish-speaking countries in the world are considered hispanic countries. But what about this country. It has some cultural similarities to the other hispanic countries.

Answer 1

No, Equitorial Guinea does not qualify as being a Hispanic nation.

Especially since it's official language is French, not Spanish.

Answer 2

Spanish speaking people are considered Hispanic. The nation actually has three official languages -Spanish, French, and Portuguese. But the majority speak Spanish as the country was colonized by Spaniards until the late 60s I believe.

And all Latinos aren't Hispanic. For example, Brazil. It is a South American country but they speak Portuguese, not Spanish.

So a short answer, yes they can be called Hispanic.

Answer 3

Nope. they are only considered Spanish talking. Hispanics are the community American-White (Mestizo) combination. A White or Black Spanish talking isn't considered Hispanic yet ban be considered Latino.

Answer 4

The language may be Spanish, but the people are not!

Answer 5

uhh spanish people aren't actually considered hispanic latino its only centrals carribeans and southern americans that are.
