Does anyone know if "Rancho" is a term used in the same context as we use it in Mexico in other Spanish speaking countries?. . .I'm mostly interested in if Central and South Americans call their small communities Ranchos?

<x-tad-smaller>Rancho is only one of many words in Spanish that have been "borrowed" or adopted by the English language. Here are a few more: Barbeque=Barbacoa, Lariat= La reata, Lasso= Lazo, Buckaroo= Vaquero, Mustang= Mosteño. these are just a few that come to mind...Iam sure there are a lot more. </x-tad-smaller>
