I have read this timeline by this AH member that suggested that Turkic speakers from Central Asia take over Anatolia and the Roman Empire with it. That's just too ASB
The Roman Empire fell after being conquered by the Slavic speaking Avar Khaganate. After 200 years, the Avars are assimilated into Roman society and become staunch patrons of Orthodox Christianity and defend all of the Empire from the Bahirists. How would you logically factor in Turkic peoples in a Conquest of the Romans? This author claims that Bahirism never rising is the POD and another religion takes it place. Bahirism, for all of those who don't know, was a popular religion in the Middle East until it was reformed and subsequently subsumed into Orthodox Christianity.
What's next from this author, Slavic speaking Illyria?
