So let's say the Latin Empire survives to the present, or at least the nation does even if it turns into a Republic or whatever. Is it possible for them to end up speaking a Romance language, or will there be a bunch of Catholic Greeks instead? If they do speak a Romance language, will it be in it's own group, a direct descendant of Latin, with maybe Vlach, Slavic, and Hellenic influence?

From what I'm looking in the Wikipedia article, Latin and Old French was used along with Greek though I imagine the former languages were spoken by whatever aristocracy that was transplanted from Western Europe. If anything they would at least Hellenize given the majority of their subjects were Greeks. So no, the Latin Empire was doomed to begin with.
