Other officially English-speaking areas are in light green. Francophone Quebec, which may or may not〔〔 be included in Anglo-America, is in blue. }} Anglo-America most often refers to a region in the Americas in which English is a main language, and where British culture and the British Empire has had significant historical, ethnic, linguistic and cultural impact.〔"Anglo-America", vol. 1, Micropædia, ''Encyclopædia Britannica'', 15th ed., Chicago: Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 1990. ISBN 0-85229-511-1.〕 Anglo-America is distinct from Latin America, a region of the Americas where Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese and French) are prevalent.〔 == Geographic region == The term ''Anglo-America'' frequently refers specifically to the United States and Canada, by far the two most populous English-speaking countries in North America.〔"(North America )" (''The Columbia Encyclopedia'' ), 6th ed. 2001-5. New York: Columbia University Press.〕 Other areas composing the Anglophone Caribbean include territories of the former British West Indies, Belize, Bermuda, and Guyana. Two notable territories with substantial non-Anglophone majorities are nonetheless often included in Anglo-America for linguistical reasons. In Canada, the francophone province of Quebec, Acadia in New Brunswick and a part of Cochrane District are sometimes considered part of Anglo-America for cultural, economic, geographical, historical, and political reasons. Similarly, Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico is considered part of Anglo-America because of its status as an unincorporated territory of the United States. Conversely, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten, and Saba are not typically included in Anglo-America, despite their English-speaking majorities, because they are constituent countries or ''public bodies'' that form part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anglo-America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
