- I wonder how Jutic and Anglic (both West Germanic/ Ingvaeonic) dialects of German would sound like, if these two tribes haven`t invaded Britain and remained on the Cimbric penninsula, instead.*
Of course we need to make sure, that both Jutes and Angles becoming part of a German ("Theodesk") identity and of course part of HRE (or something similar) as well.
Same thing with the Lower Franks understand themselves as "German" and not as Netherlandic.
Maybe even keep eastern Gaul Germanic/ Frankish, also. (Maybe including Paris)
*=Of course Britain would stay either Celtic or Romanic in such a scenario. But I think, more likely is Celtic....or it becomes Pictic (if Pictic is not a Celtic language).
- Stronger Baltic sub-families would be really interesting, as well. Let`s say, when Prussian is Western Baltic and Lithuanian and Latvian are MIDDLE Baltic (instead of named as "Easten Baltic"), it would be really interesting how a hypothetical Eastern Baltic (maybe located in OTL Belarus and/or further east (Smoleńsk region for example)) language would sound like.
- Also very interesting is the question of what if old, very old European languages were actually strong enough to survive like Basque and Georgian, but many more.
