How did the Latin America derive its origin of Latin?

Answer 1

South America was mostly settled by people from Latin Europe (especially Spain and Portugal) hence the term Latin America. In this sense the word Latin means the Romance Languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian) rather than referring to the Latin language.

Answer 2

The countries of Latin America (basically everything south of the US) were colonized by Spain, Portugal and France, all European countries with languages derived from Latin (romance languages).

Answer 3

Not quite sure exactly what you mean. However, the name 'Latin' America does not mean they speak Latin. It merely means that the area was settled by Spain and Portugal (which have been known as 'latin' countries). They speak Portuguese in Brazil and Spanish everywhere else (plus, of course, various indigenous languages)

Answer 4

From Europe of course. Everything even us came from there, the East that is, was one with the West at one time. When the sun rises from the place it sets then there will be no more of one of Allah SWT names Al Samah will be shut and that is shut down. There is only those who believed and those who should have believed. Those who call and those who need to be called.
