Latinx person
Persons, usually in the United States, who identify as Latine; broadly, all Latin American persons. In this context, persons from countries and dependencies in the Western Hemisphere where Romance languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, and French are predominantly spoken; it is broader than the terms Iberian or Hispanic.
Reactions to Latinx as a neologism have been mixed, with the most criticism coming from native Spanish speakers. There tends to be a generational and regional divide among supporters and critics of the term, with more support among young people in the United States, and more criticism among older generations, and from those outside the United States. Similar words used for this purpose include Chicanx, Latin@ and Latine. A 2019 poll found that 2% of Americans of Latin American descent preferred to use 'Latinx', and 3% of 18-34 year olds. Latine has since become the more preferred term, as it has more of a linguistic basis in Spanish than "Latinx" or "Latin@".
