Wrong they are not consider Latin. (I think)

Hmmn ..... Latin was a language invented and spoken by ..... the Romans.

Rome is in Italy.

'Latino' countries are so-called because their european settlers originally came from Italy (and Spain, as their language has its roots in ancient Latin)

Yo X (and others), do you know what you are talking about? "Latin" is not spoken any more anywhere in the world (except by the pope and some catholic priests during mass). In Italy, they speak "Italian," which developed from "Latin" as was French, Spanish, Portuguese, and I believe Romanian. Thus, any Spanish-speaking country can be considered "Latin" if you define it as any country or person whose language originated fron "Latin."
