Afro–Latin Americans or Black Latin Americans (sometimes Afro-Latinos or Afro-Latinx), are Latin Americans of full or partial African ancestry. The term Afro–Latin American is not widely used in Latin America outside academic circles. Normally Afro–Latin Americans are called black (Spanish: negro; Portuguese: negro or preto; French: noir). Latin Americans of African ancestry may also be denoted by the prefix Afro- plus a specific nationality, such as Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Cuban or Afro-Haitian.
