if you want to get technical about it, depending on whose definition you use.

Quote:
The term latino (feminine latina) in the Romance languages, such as Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, literally translates as "Latin". The cognate French term is Latin, not Latino. Portuguese dictionaries define the demonym latino to refer to natives of Romance-speaking nations influenced by Roman civilization, and to the natives or inhabitants of ancient Latium
which would include a lot of southern European countries from Portugal to Romania. as some "latinos" under the western definition speak Portuguese, i wonder how that breaks down for them?
