Apparently, Southern France and Northern Italy used to speak languages more similar to each other than either was to Northern French or Southern Italian dialects, respectively. What if instead of "French" and "Italian" becoming nationalities in the early modern period, we got three nationalities: Northern French, Southern French & North Italian, and South Italian?
On a related note, what would they likely be called? Perhaps Frankish, Gaulish, and Sicilian, with the countries called Frankland, Gaul, and the Two Sicilies.
