It'll probably be something like that. I'm still holding out hope for a reconstructed Old Eurasian in a Societist power, maybe Yapon as ironically the only major part of the Unfree World that originally spoke a language not derived from Indo-European.Why not Quranic Arabic for the Ottomans?

You're assuming the State doesn't treat them like how China treats TibetansWouldn’t that alienate all the Christians in the Balkans.
A combination of that with Star Trek authors who'd used Latin Primus etc for Romulan ranks (because they're Romans IN SPACE).
Just imagine German-Hungarian-Romanian-Czech-Slovak-Slovene-Italian-Serbocroat
You're assuming the State doesn't treat them like how China treats Tibetans
Or Uyghurs...

Societism is not focused on rationality but rather on universality.
In the Societist Combine, VoxHumana does that for you. (I suppose)And short of walking, eating, sleeping and breathing, there is little which is more universal among human civilisations than sitting around a warm hearth in the evening to tell stories to the kids.
On the other hand, assuming such a thing were to become as influential as it was OTL, I could see some particularly driven Diversitarians or Diversitarian groups trying to push back against it. I could even see some famous works being very art house-esque in rejecting things like traditional storytelling structure, etc.
Oh Lord imagine the endless books about how Aztec mythology is the perfect counterexample to the Combine's doctrines of universal archetypes in the myths of the first three Societies.In a more moderate sense, you'll definitely see Societist interpretations of mythology stress the universality of themes etc. -- while Diversitarian interpretations are bounds to highlight how different each tradition is, and how all mythological sagas are unique.

Well, I think we could still say "In Soviet Russia" for this timeline...I was thinking "In the Societist Combine, narrative shapes you!" -- but then I realised... "In the Diversitarian bloc, narrarive shapes you!"
This tells us something about the world of LTTW...
Hey! As long as cobrist revolutionaries have national characteristics it's better than the alternative!Also, doradist politicians in other countries fearing cobrist Soviet plots
