Argentinean

In English, the common demonyms for people from Argentina are Argentine or Argentinian; Argentinean is used but is less common and can be perceived as archaic or regional depending on the speaker.

Argentina derives its name from the Latin argentum, meaning silver, a reference tied to early colonial descriptions of the region. The form Argentine and related demonyms reflect this heritage.

Other languages, including Italian and indigenous languages, are spoken by communities across the country.

The population is around several tens of millions. Argentina has a rich cultural life known for tango, football (soccer), literature, and cuisine, notably beef and wine.
