Saw this thread about Venetian beating out Tuscan. Could Venetian persist in the Balkans to the modern day, or Genoese in Corsica/Sardinia? Or any other merchant republics I'm overlooking. And by persist, I mean be spoken in large numbers, at least as a secondary tongue. Sort of like Swahili for Southern Europe.
