  Hispanophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hispanophone is someone who speaks the Spanish language either natively or by adoption.
The Hispanophone culture is the legacy of the Spanish colonial empire and its irradiation.
There is a sizable Hispanophone minority in the United States comprising nearly 12% of the total population (about 40 million people) as well as smaller Hispanophone groups in Canada, northern Morocco, Equatorial Guinea, and the Philippines, the latter three being former colonies of Spain.

 South America
In the case of Hispanophone America, though, decade-long civil wars and wars of independence led to the eventual emergence of nine independent states where once there had been three vice-royalties united under the Spanish Crown.
In Hispanophone South America, the messy aftermath of the wars of independence led to continuing instability in the entire area, including numerous civil and international wars and perennial political instability.
Argentina -- as of 2000 the fifth-wealthiest state in the world on a per capita basis, and home to 60 million inhabitants -- is likewise a major force to be reckoned with, both as the most populous Hispanophone state in the world and as as a major influence on the rest of the Hispanophone world.

 Spanish Placement for Native Speakers, Nonnative Speakers, and Others   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Aware 'of the amorphous “middle” group, we rejected the idea of two exams, only to be forced to confront a second issue: whether to orient the new exam toward the native or the nonnative course.
Typical admitted hispanophones requesting waivers for Spanish 4103 are also asked about their academic background in Spanish, for we strongly encourage literate native speakers to attempt to place out of 4103, a course for students with little or no previous contact with the written language.
Although early in the semester the instructor can tell hispanophones in nonnative sections to transfer into a first-semester native-speaker class, inertia, start-of-semester confusion, and the constant student threat to “take something else” usually conspire to let students stay where they are.

 Belize in 2001 ( )
Protestant anglophone Belize is an anomaly in Catholic hispanophone Central America.
The Corozal cultural center is the last anglophone outpost before entering hispanophone Mexico.
I was just going through Belize to get to Mexico on this trip so I did not take many photos and I don't have much to say about it but I'll try to compensate with this beautiful picture of the waterfront on Corozal Bay.

 Filipinos Living Abroad
Following the Third World War and the Mexican conquest of the United States territories to its north, the liberal Mexican government resettled Hispanophone Filipino refugees from their camps in the East Indian Commonwealth to the promising if underpopulated northwestern states of greater Mexico.
More quickly than Korean-Mexicans, the Filipino immigrant communities of the California and Sonora are quickly mixing with their native-born Mexican neighbours, due to the Filipinos' knowledge of Spanish and their Catholicism.
Although Venezuela, like Argentina, is a wealthy Hispanophone cauldron with a Filipino immigrant population that arrived before the Third World War, Filipino-Venezuelans have managed to retain a stronger collective identity than their Argentine counterparts.

 On the Spanish Translation of 'Love and Longing in Bombay'
As a recent commentator on literary translation, the Polish scholar Piotr Kuhiwczak, has pointed out, 'in most cases readers of translations are monolingual, and will not compare the translation with the original': hence, he argues, 'translators are responsible for the quality of the texts'
The visibility principle has not yet gone so far as to make it likely that the translator's photograph will appear tomorrow on dust-jackets alongside the author's, but the present translation appears to the reader as one that quite clearly has its own visible translatedness as one of its goals.
The globalising aspects of Chandra's text are thus made more palatable to Hispanophone readers who may themselves be concerned over the less salubrious effects of globalisation.

In the early 21st century, a period of hyper-technology, post-nationalism, and the domination of transnational media, culture and economy have become fused, as it were, and capitalist globalisation tends towards the mercantilisation and privatisation of all aspects of human experience.

While the conference invites proposals linked to these questions, contributions on any theme concerning the Hispanophone and Lusophone worlds are invited from academics, students, activists, artists, NGOs, and government agencies.

 WIPO/PR/2004/379: Spanish Becomes Working Language of International Trademark System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
As of April 1, 2004, users of the international trademark system can file applications in Spanish, in addition to English and French, thereby removing language as a barrier for more hispanophone countries to join the Madrid Protocol for the International Registration of Trademarks, which is administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
"It gives an added incentive to hispanophone countries to join Spain and Cuba, the only two Spanish-speaking countries currently in the system, and others and paves the way for its wider use, making it a truly global registration system" he added.
Rubio said, "In today’s global marketplace, trademarks play a key role, particularly in the field of export promotion and WIPO’s international trademark registration services offer a quick, easy and cost-effective way to obtain trademark protection in multiple countries".

Every Wednesday of each month some twenty major newspapers in the Arab world provide freely an entire Arabic literary work in the form of a newspaper supplement.

When adapted to the Arab world the project came to include poetry, plays, and seminal works from Arab literary patrimony, beside novels.
