Welcome to the Hispanic world

Hispanic (Spanish: hispano, hispánico; Portuguese: hispânico, hispano, Catalan: hispà, hispànic) is an ethnonym that denotes a relationship to Spain or, in some definitions, to ancient Hispania, which comprised the Iberian Peninsula including the modern states of Andorra, Portugal, and Spain and the British Crown Dependency of Gibraltar. Today, organizations in the United States use the term to refer to persons with a historical and cultural relationship either with Spain and Portugal or with only Spain. Some organizations intend to encapsulate only the Spanish-speaking populations in the term Hispanic, limiting the definition to that subset, while others encapsulate Spain and Portugal in the term "Hispanic." The term is more broadly used to refer to the culture, peoples, or nations with a historical link to Spain, especially those countries which were once colonized by Spain, particularly the countries of Latin America which were colonized by Spain. The Hispanic culture is a set of customs, traditions, beliefs and art forms (music, literature, dress, architecture, cuisine or others) which are generally shared by peoples in Hispanic regions, but which can vary considerably from one country or territory to another. The Spanish and Portuguese languages are the main cultural element shared by Hispanic peoples.

Definitions in the United States


The U.S. Office of Management and Budget currently defines "Hispanic or Latino" as "a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.  In a recent study, most Spanish-speakers of Spanish or Latin American descent do not prefer the term “Hispanic” or “Latino” when it comes to describing their identity. Instead, they prefer to be identified by their country of origin. When asked if they have a preference for either being identified as “Hispanic” or “Latino,” the Pew study finds that “half (51%) say they have no preference for either term.” If they did have to choose, the study finds that “’Hispanic’ is preferred over ‘Latino’ by more than a two-to-one margin—33% versus 14%.”

Class # 1 Alphabet "El Alfabeto"

The Spanish alphabet has the following 27 letters and 2 digraphs:

Vowell "Vocales"  A - E - I - 0 - U
The Letters : B(be) - V(ve)  There is no longer any distinction between the sounds of these letters.
The Letters : R(ere / erre) It is sometimes suggested that the name of the letter R be ere when it is single, and erre when it is double RR, but the dictionary of the Real Academia Española defines the name of R as erre or ere.
The Letters : L(ele-elye) It is sometimes suggested that the name of the letter L be ele when it is single, and elye when it is double LL
The Letter  : W It is sometimes called doble ve, ve doble, doble uve 

The language known today as Spanish is derived from a dialect of spoken Latin that is thought to have developed in the north-central part of the Iberian Peninsula in what is now northern Spain, and for which a written standard was developed in the cities of Toledo (13th to 16th centuries) and Madrid (from the 1560s).  Over the past 1,000 years, the language expanded south to the Mediterranean Sea, and was later transferred to the Spanish colonial empire, most notably to the Americas. Today it is the official language of 21 countries Spain, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Guatemala, Cuba, Bolivia, Honduras, Paraguay, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Equatorial Guinea, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Uruguay. Spanish was removed as an official language of the Philippines in 1973.
Additionally, Spanish is by far the most studied foreign language in the United States. With over 50 million native speakers and second language speakers, the United States now has the second largest Spanish-speaking population in the world after Mexico. It is also one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
