Hispano-America, or also known as Hispanic America, is a territory or region made up of each of the Spanish-speaking American states, in other words, it could be said that it is a subcontinent formed by the Spanish-speaking nations or countries or that have as their language official Spanish, whose name would be "Hispanoamericano" or "Hispanoamericana". Latin America is made up of some 20 countries with a total of 400 million inhabitants.
As was well said, Spanish is the official or co-official language of all these countries or territories that represent Latin America, although it should be noted that in the same way there may be other languages in these territories, mainly indigenous languages spoken by their communities, which among them They are: Quechua, Nahuatl, Mayan, Guaraní, Aymara, among many others.
Although according to its etymology, Hispano-America alludes to Hispania, which was an ancient Roman province, which also encompassed what we now know as Peninsular Portugal, the current use of “Hispania” makes “Spain” understand in a special way, either due to its similarity its pronunciation, therefore, is that the term is used to differentiate itself from Latin America.
And since many times the terms Ibero-America, Latin America and Hispano-America are used as synonyms; but it should be noted that from a political, cultural, social, or linguistic sense their meaning is different from one another. Although many times this is a matter of controversy since the distinction of each of them is not well unified.
The differentiation between these terms is:
Hispano-America refers to the territories of America that have Spanish as their official language.
Ibero-America, refers to the group of American states or nations that speak Spanish or Portuguese.
Latin America, includes the American territories or countries where languages native to Latin are spoken, such as Spanish, French and Portuguese.
The countries that make up Latin America are: Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador.
