Well, the nature of the written language causes it to look like several different romance language (I think). But, I think it all fits together nicely though. Much of the reason the others look similar to Spanish is because there werent many sound changes that could affect them to make them different (unlike the example you pointed out ;). I purposely had Montreiano follow lines similar to Spanish in its vowels in order for it to look more ibero-romance. But overall, i think the language has achieved the softness I was looking for :).
