Germanic America

Germanic America is a little-used term that comprises the countries of the Western Hemisphere in which a Germanic language predominates--Anglo-America, Dutch-speaking Suriname and West Indies, and sometimes Danish-speaking Greenland (the first language of Greenland is Kalaallisut). Because the English implicit in Anglo-America is one language, it is not the exact analogue of Latin America, where Latin as an adjective implies any language descended from Latin--in this case French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The exact analogue, rather, would be Germanic, an adjective which encompasses any language descended from proto-Germanic--English, Dutch, and several other languages. It is also a convenient way to categorise Suriname, which cannot be counted as part of either Anglo- or Latin America. As Latin is not spoken in Latin America, neither is German spoken in Germanic America. The Germanic American countries:\n* Anguilla (UK)\n* Antigua and Barbuda\n* Aruba (Netherlands)\n* The Bahamas\n* Barbados\n* Belize\n* British Virgin Islands (UK)\n* Canada\n* Cayman Islands (UK)\n* Dominica\n* Dutch West Indies (Netherlands)\n* Falkland Islands (UK)\n* Greenland (Denmark)\n* Grenada\n* Guyana\n* Jamaica\n* Montserrat (UK)\n* Saint Kitts and Nevis\n* Saint Lucia\n* Saint Vincent and the Grenadines\n* South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (UK)\n* Suriname\n* Trinidad and Tobago\n* Turks and Caicos Islands (UK)\n* United States of America\n* U.S. Virgin Islands (USA) Note that Canada and Greenland, in particular, have longstanding significant populations of other cultures; indeed, Quebec within Canada may be considered part of Latin America.
