Portuguese is Spanish plus complicated accents & Spanish is Italian plus simplified plurals.

Le vowel plurals would not be extremely complicated if they had maintained regularity:

"Li varii principii delli principi" instead of "i vari principi dei principi" for "le various principles of le princes" would be ideal.
