Anglo-America is a region in the Americas in which English is a main language,[1] or one which has significant British historical, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural links. Anglo-America is distinct from Latin America, a region of the Americas where Romance languages (namely, Spanish, Portuguese, and variably French) are prevalent.[1]

  Geographic region

Anglo-America includes the United States (Hawaii excluded) and Canada in North America, and the term is frequently used in reference to the two countries together.[2] Despite having a French-speaking majority, Quebec is often considered part of Anglo-America due to cultural, economic, geographical, historical, and political considerations. Other areas composing the Anglophone Caribbean include territories of the British West Indies, Belize, Bermuda, and Guyana.

  Anglo-American

The adjective Anglo-American is used in the following ways:

  Anglo-American ethnic group

As a noun, Anglo-American can refer to an English-speaking European American and/or an English Canadian, sometimes shortened to Anglo.[4][5] This usage originated in the discussion of the history of English-speaking people of the United States and the Spanish-speaking people residing in the western U.S. during the Mexican-American War. This usage generally ignores the distinctions between German Americans (the largest self-reported ancestry group in the United States Census), Irish Americans, English Americans, Italian Americans, Swedish Americans, and other European-descended peoples, comprising the majority of English-speaking Europeans in the United States and English Canada. Anglo-Americans, like other English speakers, are traditionally Protestant with a large Roman Catholic minority. The term Anglo in reference to European English-speaking Americans is sometimes but rarely viewed as an insult much the same as the term Hispanic to the natives of the Americas.[citation needed]

In many spheres, Anglo has come to denote all English-speaking people and their descendants, regardless of prior ethnic background, much like Hispanic refers to people of any race. Therefore, a person of Chinese descent who adopts the U.S. or English Canadian American culture would have English-speaking Anglo children (in contrast to Spanish-speaking Chinese descent people who would be Hispanic). Anglo-American can refer to all those that came from countries that traditionally spoke English as a main language, as well as all those whose families have become mainstream English-speaking people in the United States and English Canada.[citation needed]

Archived from the original on 15 March 2008. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Anglo. Retrieved 2008-03-29. "Usage Note: In contemporary American usage, Anglo is used primarily in direct contrast to Hispanic or Latino. In this context it is not limited to persons of English or even British descent, but can be generally applied to any non-Hispanic white person, making mother tongue (in this case English) the primary factor. Thus in parts of the United States with large Hispanic populations, an American of Polish, Irish, or German heritage might be termed an Anglo just as readily as a person of English descent. However, in parts of the country where the Hispanic community is smaller or nonexistent, or in areas where ethnic distinctions among European groups remain strong, Anglo has little currency as a catch-all term for non-Hispanic whites. Anglo is also used in non-Hispanic contexts. In Canada, where its usage dates at least to 1800, the distinction is between persons of English and French descent. And in American historical contexts Anglo is apt to be used more strictly to refer to persons of English heritage, as in this passage describing the politics of nation-building in pre-Revolutionary America: "The 'unity' of the American people derived ... from the ability and willingness of an Anglo elite to stamp its image on other peoples coming to this country" (Benjamin Schwarz)."
