Best Answer
Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin AmericaThere are many cultural values that Latin America, Portugal, and Spain share with African and Asian countries (eg. Mozambique, Angola). You make a great contribution to understanding cultural diversity by suggesting that we acknowledge African and Asian cultures' contribution to Latino cultural diversity. Among the historical trends shared is the mestizaje/mestizagem cultural found in Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. Answer"Latino" is in reference to people whose heritage is from the latin (romance) languages, Spain, Italy, and France. Latino is a general term refering to Spanish speaking people. It has nothing to do with where they live but rather with who they are same as the French, Asian, or Arab. Latino has become a more popular term in recent years, in reality the correct term is Hispanic. Both Hispanic and Latino are terms that a lot of Spanish people take offense to, they prefer to be called by their nationality, such as Colombian, Mexican, Argentinian, Cuban, Spaniard.

Does that really mean that Portuguese is spoken even in Antarctica? Yes! For Brazil maintains a scientific presence in the south polar continent. But the Portuguese presence thus far is very limited.

For settlement of the subsequent Latin America was regulated by the Treaty of Tordesillas, in 1497. By that treaty, Portugal was only eligible to claim Brazil. For the line of division ran in such a way as to give almost everything else to Spain.
