Odd Happenings in Languages.

I've been reading a book, and it involves some Portuguese. It was so incredibly similar to Spanish that I decided to look more into how to translate it. What I found was that the second person plural is archaic. The same thing happened in Latin America, with vosotros being replaced by ustedes. They use 'vocês' and the 3rd person plural, once again falling in line with Spanish.
Could this coincidental change in language somehow be affected by the two languages similarities?

I'm sure some of our language scholars could answer that question.
