PERCENTAGE i would say Domenicam Republic!

But Jamaica and Haiti ( not in this poll) hav a strong african heritage in percentage of population too!
Of that list, almost certainly Dominican Republic with Cuba second.

Brazil probably the most in absolute numbers, but the thread asked for percentage.

Yes, but the operative word here is Latin (America) of which those countries are not a part.
Haiti is a Latin country, Frensh is a Latin linguage :dunno:

From a "technical" or broadest standpoint, yes, as French is derived from Latin. But when the term "Latin America" is used in the general sense, it includes only countries whose primary language is either Spanish or Portuguese.

The term was created by the french ruler of the time, Louis-Napoléon Bonapartes.

Fascinating irony that French is excluded from the context. It reminds me of the "Panama Hat" originated in Ecuador...

"is the region of the Americas where Romance languages — those derived from Latin, predominantly Spanish and Portuguese, but strictly also FRENCH." Haiti is part of latin america they speak a romance language. Quebec is also part of latin america.

"From a strict cultural and linguistic perspective, it would include all countries and territories in the Americas where Romance languages — Spanish, Portuguese, French, and their creoles — are spoken. "
mmm..
Brazil or Dominic Republic???

I choose the 2nd one.!
Cuba?

WHY WASN'T THE UNITED STATES INCLUDED IN THIS AMERICAN POLL? IT SOULD! I GUESS...


But the higher must be any country in Central America
Haiti is technically a part of Latin America ;)

But from that list, probably the Dominican Republic percentage wise and Brazil by sheer numbers.
Why don't you just used the Aemrican term not latin american is a complicate term if you ask me....

here are countries in South Aemrica where the national language is english or dutch, the some in Central America, on the other hand half ofthe Canada terrotory speaks French and these days Spanish because of Mexicans is the first language in some Sotherns States or almost....
In spanish:

porque este poll? se presta para cosas de peleas. Menos mal que no esta en otra parte del foro.
Y bueno, faltan mas paises, muchos de centroamerica e islas del caribe.
Y Haiti es parte de Latinoamerica. Una Latinoamerica cada vez mas racista :eek:hno:

It is apparent that you reside in your own private universe. Have it your way, pal.
