Anglo-America

Anglo-America most often means the part of the Americas where English is the main language and where British culture and the British Empire left a strong historical, ethnic, linguistic and cultural mark. It includes the United States, most of Canada and some Caribbean countries. It is set against Latin America, where Romance languages such as Spanish, Portuguese and French prevail. Quebec and Inuit Nunangat in Canada are left out because their majorities do not speak English, and Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten and Saba are normally left out too, despite English-speaking majorities, because they belong to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The adjective appears in phrases such as Anglo-American law, a concept roughly the same as common law. People from many parts of the world have migrated to Anglo-America in search of better work and a safer life.
