Any of?
Hello. Is the following usage of 'any of' wrong?
Letters can be written in any of English, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese.
I know that I cannot use 'both' because there are more than two, but I would like to use something. I have thought about 'any of'.
Thank you.

Sorry, "any of" is wrong. " You could use "either" (which applies to two or more choices). However, the simplest wording is this: Letters can be written in English, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese.
