Corrected inaccuracies. The map was updated according to Wikipedia's (and Wiktionary's) own usage of the terms, which is already visually represented in the images File:Latin America (orthographic projection).svg and File:Anglo America (orthographic projection).svg. Countries that don't speak Latin-derived languages (such as Jamaica and Suriname) are not "Latin American".
