No - Latino refers to Latin Americans (Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries in the Americas). The French speak a Latin-derived language too but they're not Latino

Latin is the ancestor of all those languages you mentioned, as well as Portuguese.  Publius Vergilius Maro, or Vergil (original Latin spelling) was a poet - he was born in 70 BC, and died in 19 BC before he finished the Aeneid.  The name probably did not originate with him, but he certainly made it famous.

Both are correct.First you are hispanic in the sense that you were born in HISPANIA or Hispanic Peninsula(NOT IBÉRIA, BECAUSE IBÉRIA IS , THAT PART OF SPAIN OR HISPANIA OR HISPANIC PENINSULA THAT  CONTAIN ALL PROVINCES OF HISPANIA EXCEPT LUSITÂNIA/PORTUGAL) and secondly you are latin because Rome invaded and conquered by slaughter and treason Hispania imposing the PAX ROMANA (whatever that means),mixing Hispanic culture, blood and language with their own.So , we are all the cultural result of that event and many more before Rome.

In English, the spelling is "Portuguese". In Portuguese, it's "português". And yes, I can speak Portuguese.

Brazilian's official language is Portuguese, only. \n\nBrazil started as a Colony from Portugal until its independece. They speak portuguese with different accent from portugal, but it is the same language with same gramatical rules. \n\nYou can find guys speaking other languages because you can learn at the schools. (First english due the cultural domination but now is changing to Spanish - spoken wide world and not at only one country, like Cantonese/"one of 3" Chinese languages). Usually higher classes learn english due the international market.

Latin America are those countries that speak a Latin-derived language and are part of the American hemisphere.  That would include primarily Spanish and Portuguese-speaking nations, but would also include the few French-speaking nations like Haiti in the same region.  Canada is primarily English-speaking, and therefore not included, despite their large French-speaking population.\n\nThe term Latino is not typically used for all Latin Americans.  Instead, it typically is used to refer to immigrants in the U.S. who have that heritage.

French, Spanish, Italian, Portugese and Romanian are latin languages.

The majority of the countries in Latin America speak Spanish;  Brazil speaks Portugues.  These two languages derive from Latin, the language spoken in ancient Rome.  That is why the part of our continent South of the U.S. border is called LATIN AMERICA.

I just don't know if you are referring Latinos as a whole or to an specific group. I know that must people that were born south of the USA, may speak the same way because after all Spanish is their native tongue, so when they move to speak English they may have sort of similar accent. Let me tell you something, not all "Latinos" are the same, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans are very different to the rest of Latinamerica.  You don't say to an Irish he is British or to a Canadian he is American or to a Basque he is Spanish. Culture shouldn't be an excuse to do something wrong, when you are allowed into another country you should learn their customs and traditions. To say that because of my culture i do this or that, is just a lame excuse to avoid responsibility.

"Mi est esto con featora don biate"\n\nWell, i speak italian and portuguese fluently, i am also a native spanish speaker, and this is none of those, i am pretty sure it isnt french either.\n\nEst is "it is" in latin, but they didnt use Mi, they used Ego.\nSo i pretty much guess its romanian or a dialect from around.

Seems like you are using the term "latin" in the old and original context, that is, someone with roman heritage or to be more particular, someone from Lacio. If the average mexican used the term with that meaning, it's very likely he'd be wrong.\n\nAnyway, the meaning of the term "latino" (latin), as used today in Latin-america, means someone who's born in a country with a language derived from latin. You can check that meaning in the dictionary of the Real Academy of the Spanish Language, it has other meanings as well and it all depends the context and region where it’s used.\n\nSo, when someone "happily" claim to be "latin" (a mexican in this case), means his/her roots are in a country where the native language is a romance language and I can tell you that's the usual way the term is used among mexicans. I live among "latins" and they claim to be that, they don't claim to be full (or half) blooded italians, they'd usually recognize themselves as mestizos from a racial point of view.\n\nSo, when someone is looking for a "latin" look, it'd be good to know what he means by a "latin" look, since different meanings are accepted in the spanish language. Antonio Banderas, as far as I remember, has usually played characters that imply a spanish heritage.\n\nMy feelings is that sometimes the meanings of the term “latin” are ignored, and when the meaning taken is that used centuries ago, the results can be very misleading. The problem I find is the different meanings of the word are sometimes ignored. I wouldn't be surprised that a mexican denied that italians are "latins" just by ignorance of the other meanings of the word. I think what's important is to know exactly how the term is used by the speaker and in what context it's used rather than taking the word as it had only one meaning.\n\nThose are my feelings as a mexican that happens to have some italian heritage (apart from spanish and arabic) and is aware about how his mexican pals use the word "latin".

Not only Spanish... I speak Portuguese and live in Florida, which has a lot of Hispanic people, and whenever I talk with my mum, we have a bunch of people that think we're speaking Spanish, or a bunch of Spanish-speaking coming over to talk to us... And I'm crap with Spanish.
