North and South America are, other than Europe, the continents with the most speakers of European languages. Spanish and Portuguese are spoken in South and Central America, while English and French are spoken in North America (not inluding Mexico). The Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries are collectively refered to as "Latin-America," as both of these languages are Romance languages and hence descendents of Latin. The United States of America and Canada are collectively refered to as "Anglo-America," as they both have a majority of English speakers and have strong cultural and historical roots to Great Britain/England.
