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)
