Assuming a continuation of relative prosperity how would over centuries a surviving Roman Empire look with the latinisation/romanisation of the languages and cultures of the provinces over the centuries given an above decent Roman world and timeline (for the Romans) with a few maintained parallels of our world. Personally, I'm really enquiring about the Western Provinces but I don't truly mind altogether.

I personally think that there would be a continued growth of the various Vulgar Latins over centuries until all regional languages are pushed over towards extinction around the 11th Century eventually with an Industrial revolution parallel down the road the need for literate workers grows and the Vulgar Latins are standardised or 'proper' Latin is enforced. This assumes heavy parallels in development and such, lacks an insight into the cultures and only really deals with the west but it's a proposition.
