The term Spanish Americans can be defined in at least two different ways.
The first definition is citizens of the United States of Spanish descent (Spanish of Spain, not Latin Americans).
The second definition is inhabitants of Spanish America, which is a term for the parts of Latin America where Spanish is spoken as the and/or an official language. Another term for this area is Hispanic America.
A disproportionate number of Spanish Americans in the first sense of the term, mentioned above, as well as Mexican Americans, and possibly some other types of Hispanic Americans, live in the American Southwest.
