Blank Map of Central America

Contrary to popular belief, Central America is neither a continent in and of itself, nor a part of South America. It is geographically a part of North America, though is typically thought of as its own sub-region because of the cultural, political, and economic ties between the countries in the area.

Central America includes Panama, Belize, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Some people tend to include Mexico because of its linguistic and cultural ties to the sub-region, but really it is not part of Central America. The official language of every country is Spanish, yet numerous indigenous languages are also spoken. Around 42 million people live in these countries, across an area of 523,780 square km.
