OK, I'm not sure if this thread is allowed, but I have an interesting question;
Let's assume, throwing all implausibility out of the window, that the Crusades succeed in establishing a successful Christian state in the Levant. The population of these areas is significantly changed ethnically, culturally and religiously by the successful Crusaders, as one would assume would happen if Crusaders somehow succeeded and established a rooted nation in the holy land.

There's just one question; what would that culture, ethnicity and religious change be like? Not many women came along with the Crusaders, so we can assume it would've been a Latin America-like situation where these soldiers found themselves a local wife and you would've got a bunch of Levantine-European mixes. Culturally, do the languages mix? Latin would be a religious, governmental and ceremonial language of course, but the commoners would never all speak Latin. With Crusaders coming from all over Catholic Europe and there being various Aramean, Armenian and other Christian cultures who lived side by side with Crusader states, do we get an interesting mix of cultures? Maybe like Maltese but a bit more European (specifically French/English/Norman/Italian/German) focused? And those Saracens would be forcibly converted at some point I assume, but what about those Levantine Christians? Are they tolerated or forcibly converted at some point as well?

Could we at some point see, given a surviving Crusader state in the Levant, an ethnogenesis resulting from the fallout of the Crusades?
