New World region (5,7)

I believe the answer is:

latin america

(Other definitions for latin america that I've seen before include "Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking region" , "Spanish or Portuguese speaking part of New World" , "Western territories" , "Romance language-speaking countries south of US" , "Spanish-speaking area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
