With a PoD before 1500, change history in such a manner that various vernaculars (whether Romance, Germanic or Slavic) never rise to prominance and Classical Latin (even it's somewhat simplified form of Medieval Latin) remains the sole high language of Europe and later, after the Industrial Revolution, is adopted as a spoken language by the wider masses. Something close to the rise of Hebrew on steroids.
