sorry I'm blind

I'm sure my teacher explained me why we were called "Latins".... it was something about Italy and romance (sp) languages.... but maybe the guy didn't know a **** about it.... so I'll look for the info and tell you as soon as I find it

548 found it and I guess my teacher was right...

"El Lacio (Latium, palabra que probablemente significaba ‘llanura’) es la región que circunda a la ciudad de Roma. Sus habitantes eran los latinos y su lengua el latín. La expansión de Roma llevó la cultura y lengua latinas a un amplio conjunto de pueblos mediterráneos de los que surgieron las actuales lenguas románicas o neolatinas (español, portugués, catalán, francés, italiano y rumano, entre las principales). El descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo trasladó al continente americano las lenguas y la cultura de estas naciones. De ahí el origen etimológico de Latinoamérica."

there!

548 translation???

"The Limp one (Latium, word that probably signified ‘plain’) is the region that encircles to the city of Rome. Their inhabitants were the Latin Americans and their tongue the latin. The expansion of Rome carried the culture and latin american tongue to an extensive assembly of mediterranean towns of the ones that the present Romanesque tongues arose or neolatinas (Spanish, Portuguese, Catalonian, French, Italian and Rumanian, among the main). The discovery of the New World transferred al American continent the tongues and the culture of these nations. From there the origin etimológico of Latin America."
