| Serves as an umbrella term for people of Spanish, or Spanish-speaking ancestry. Hispanic is considered a pan-ethnic term, and does not provide context for someone's race or country of origin. | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Note | ||||
| People who self-identify as Hispanic may also self-identify as Chicano/Chicana, [Latino/Latina](#/latino), or [Latinx](#/latinx), but don't assume that they do. When in doubt, ask for individual preferences. | ||||

| Serves as an umbrella term for people of Latin American ancestry. Latino (and Latina) are inherently gendered terms due to Spanish's gendered language. Latino is considered a pan-ethnic term that does not provide context for someone's language, country of origin, or race. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Also can be written in gender neutral forms of [Latinx](#/latinx), or Latin@s. When in doubt, default to Latino, and ask individual parties their preference, if possible. | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Note | ||||
| People who self-identify as Latin American or Latino/Latina may also self-identify as Chicano/Chicana, [Hispanic](#/hispanic), or [Latinx](#/latinx). | ||||

| Latinx arose as a gender-neutral alternative to the gendered [Latino](#/latino)/Latina in the United States.  | ||||
|  | ||||
| This is a term that is seeing expanded usage and evolution among academic circles. Latinx is considered a pan-ethnic term that does not provide context for someone's language, country of origin, or race. | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Note | ||||
| People who self-identify as Latinx may also self-identify as Chicano/Chicana, [Hispanic](#/hispanic), or [Latin American](/#latino) | ||||
