Basically what it says on the tin. Anything from ancient tribal migrations to modern immigration patterns to industrial era immigration.
I admit that making people speak Coptic over the Romance languages of North Africa is a little difficult except for maybe Libya. I was thinking more about Bantu East Africa being influenced than the North and West Africa. Major Bantu coast languages would incorporate Coptic vocabulary just like languages in OTL incorporated Arabic vocabulary, like Swahili, and the entire Nile watershed would be filled with dialects of Coptic or Coptic derived languages.Also, a Coptic speaking Egypt (not too sure about all of north Africa, that seems unlikely) actually wouldn't necessarily require no Islam! While the Arabization campaigns of the later Caliphates and Sultanates definitely lead to a decline of the Coptic language in Africa, the Nile remained majority Egyptian and Christian up until the 1200s-1300s, so it isn't really all that unlikely or difficult to have!
To be honest you could have a batch different threads with this premise that would be exclusive to each continent and have each be over ten pages long.

Balts replace Slavs as the late Migration Era migration wave? Hmm?
Anglo Saxon migration to Volga area. Anglo Saxons become the Rus equivalent. Anglo Saxon kingdoms in "Russia".Basically what it says on the tin. Anything from ancient tribal migrations to modern immigration patterns to industrial era immigration.

Perhaps that would be one of the effects of a powerful and lasting North Sea Empire with no 1066? But yeah, it might be useful that if anyone wants to toss out any out-of-there ideas that you give a little context how they could or would happen.But why might the Anglo-Saxons go east instead of west?

But why might the Anglo-Saxons go east instead of west?
Very difficult. The Angles went west for the same reason the later Danes did - more accessible and less resistance - where they were successful varied due to politics and military strength. It could be possible though for the eastern Saxons to do a Rus but they're no more likely to leave a linguistic trace than the Rus did OTL.Maybe Britain is longer under Control of the Romans and more stable. Or the power is transited to Romanized native Britains. Anglo Saxons are never called by Britains as mercearies in the first place.
In Florida as a small colony do to reataining independence from Spain. Mostly populated by Indians, blacks, Basque, and mixtures thereof.Basque settlement in North America.
