NO! No! Mr. Dupri.

It is not just countries which were colonised by Latin countries that are now considered part of Latin America; it is all countries whose language have Latin at their roots, hence, what we usually refer to as the romance languages.

This includes French.

It is not because Haiti was colonised by the Spaniards that it is part of Latin America.

If it had been colonised just by the French it would still be considered part of Latin America, because French is a romance language.

The topic is: sir how is haiti a latin country
This is a reply to Msg 16597

Being a latin country does not have anything to do with geographical location. A country is considered latin if the language spoken by its inhabitants derive from Latin. French is spoken in Haiti, and French derives from Latin, that is the reason why > >
