This is just a thread I made on the fly, I know pretty well that the likelihood of this isn't high, but I'm still wondering. So OTL Italy had many different dialects across the nation by the time of unification, many were arguably different languages outright, so a standard form of Italian was needed for the nation. IIRC they chose a version mainly based on that of Florence as the famous Italian poet Dante came from there. But what if Italy decided switch to a form of Vulgar or Classical Latin?
