latino: "a member of any of the Latin peoples, or those speaking chiefly Romance languages, esp. a native of or émigré from Latin America."
This is the definition of the word, not the "ethnicity" defined by the Office of Management and Budget of the United States under the name "Hispanic and Latino." In Romance languages including Spanish, French, and Italian the word simply means: of a culture in which the generally spoken language is a direct descendant of Latin itself.
By definition of the word, one who is latino can be of a culture located on any of a number of continents spanning across the globe. These include Europe (ie. Spain, Portugal, etc.), the Americas (ie. El Salvador, Guatemala, etc.), Africa (ie. Senegal, Mozambique, etc.), and Asia (Vietnam, The Phillipines, etc.). Cultures located on the three latter have generally been at one point a colony of an empire with any of several Romance languages--including and generally exclusively Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese--as its official language.
However the word "latino" has evolved in the English language and become the title designating those specifically from Latin America and typically living in the United States. Some find Latino difficult to be considered an ethnicity as it ecompasses a variety of cultures.
