    The term Latin America is used loosely to refer to all the American countries south of the United States: used this way, it covers the whole of South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. It is used in a strict sense to refer solely to the nations in those geographical regions where the Spanish and Portuguese languages predominate; this narrower definition excludes the countries and territories where English and other languages are spoken (Jamaica, Guyana, Suriname, etc.).

    The Latin American countries, taking the term in its strict sense, are:

    Argentina
    Bolivia
    Brazil
    Chile
    Colombia
    Costa Rica
    Cuba
    Dominican Republic
    Ecuador
    El Salvador
    Guatemala
    Honduras
    Haiti
    Mexico
    Nicaragua
    Panama
    Paraguay
    Peru
    Uruguay
    Venezuela
    The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (USA)
