Guadalajara }} Latin America is a geographic and cultural concept similar to Ibero-America, used to refer to a group of territories and countries in the Americas where Romance languages are spoken. The term originated in 19th century France to include French-speaking territories in the Americas within the larger group of countries that speak Spanish and Portuguese. It is therefore marginally broader than the term Iberian America or Spanish America, though it excludes French-speaking Quebec. Latin America consists of twenty sovereign states which cover an area that stretches from the southern border of the United States to the southern tip of South America, including the Caribbean. It has an area of approximately 19,197,000 km (7,412,000 sq mi), almost 13% of the earth's land surface area. As of 2013, its population was estimated at more than 604 million and in 2014, Latin America has a combined nominal GDP of 5,573,397 million USD and a GDP PPP of 7,531,585 million USD.〔 The term "Latin America" was first used in 1861 in ''La revue des races Latines'', a magazine "dedicated to the cause of Pan-Latinism".〔Phelan (1968), p. 296.〕 ==Etymology and definitions== 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「Latin America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
