Valyrian - what living languages does it resemble the most?

I'm interested in knowing what living languages Valyrian resembles the most in its grammar and/or vocabulary.

I've gathered here some very basic examples of what kind of similarities I would like to know of:

  • History/Culture

  • To the layman the history of the language group seems to resemble that or latin (and maybe arabic).

  • Vocabulary

  • If I have understood correctly the Valyrian vocabulary is formed so that it shouldn't sound like any living language so probably there's not much similarities there.

  • Grammar

  • It seems to contain many word inflections which would mean it bears more similarity to Latin than for example English, right?

  • It has four grammatical genders and here the Wikipedia article mentions some kind of similarity to Bantu languages?

  • Any other aspects of Valyrian containing significant similarities?
