Or just "Latin". A word Latin Americans actually use. Really don't need the X.

That only works in English sadly. The Spanish latino comes from the part of the Americas that spoke a Latin-based (romance) language. The Spanish Latín refers only to the language of Rome

Good thing almost nobody speaks Latin today, so it should be pretty clear what the intended meaning is.
