Apuesto a que sí. Nunca he oído la palabra pero he oído en inglés: Francophile (alguien que ama la cultura francesa), anglophile (alguien que ama la cultura inglesa) , vinophile (alguien que ama vino) etcétera

Soy orgullosamente una latinofila jeje Tal vez acabo de inventar una palabra nueva.

Some of my friends have called me, because of my love for all things Mexican, a Mexicanophile.

Which also sounds very strange.

Amusing question; amusing responses... Thanks.

So could you say it translates to "united-statesophile" ? "northa-americanophile" ? haha those both look weird

I have no idea! Since anglo, franco, vino all come from Latin (?Or Greek) roots and the USA is new... well I don't know what you would use.

Yankeephile?

No prob! I actually didn't make this word up - I'm researching Latin American newspapers from 1958 for my thesis, and in one article the author writes that he is a self-proclaimed "norteamericanofilo" - i was totally thrown off by that word!
