You're right. Its main influences come from Spanish, Catalan and Galician-Portuguese,
though it also includes influences from French, Italian, German and English.

However, the pronunciation is a mixture between Spanish and Catalan. The nasal tildes
(~) don't make vowels sound like in Portuguese: they only indicate that an "N"
is missing (and not pronounced), and could be needed for forming femenine,
plural or derivative words.

Adio.
