Do you consider Puerto Rico as part of Latin America?

Do you consider Puerto Rico as part of Latin America

Yes. It is included in the contemporary definition. From Wikipedia:

[i]Latin America[/i] generally refers to territories in the Americas where the Spanish or Portuguese or French languages prevail: Mexico, most of Central and South America, and in the Caribbean, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Puerto Rico. Latin America is, therefore, defined as all those parts of the Americas that were once part of the Spanish, Portuguese and French Empires. By this definition, Latin America is coterminous with Ibero-America ("Iberian America").

@JonathanC thanks for information 👍
Puerto Rico is part of Latin America. Latin America includes Mexico, Central and South America and all the barrier islands of the Caribbean that speak Spanish, Portuguese, or French.

I think it is.

@Mariocrespo8546 Apparently the official currency in Puerto Rico is the US Dollar, which qualifies it as American. They speak Spanish there so that qualifies it as part of Latin America.

@NankerPhelge in Ecuador they use American money as well

@Mariocrespo8546 That's in South America, I think of that as Latin America as well.
