The Latin America understands the Spanish-speaking countries and Brazil (Portuguese-speaking), that is to say the south of North America, almost the totality of the Central America (except Belize) and of South America (Guyanes excluded), and some Antilles. This conventional delimitation takes account of the political history - the Spanish influence having been pushed back in the south of the Rio Grande after 1848 -, but not of the migrations of the men who, more and more, gain North. The Spanish-Americans - of Mexican, Porto Rican, cuban origin in particular - are today some 20 million with living, legally or not, and establishing their language and their culture on the territory of the United States.
