Surviving Wendish nation/culture?

Again, my Wends were Christianized by the Avar-Orthodox Empire above. I'm assuming Slavonic isn't going to supplant "Wendish". If getting their own Patriarch and using Wendish rather than Slavonic has to happen, I'm ok with that. With the schism lying in the future, I was aiming for Christian Wends very early- I expect they'll side with Rome down the road: I don't want Teutonic Knights on their turf.
(I'm using "orthodox" anachronistically, but Avar-Byzantine didn't seem appropriate either)

I don't see why the Franks or Holy Roman Empire for that matter would need to altered this harsh to prevent Wendish survival. Since Poles, Swedes, Danes etc. were all involved in this. I agree what would help the Wends would be earlier conversion, ideally given their neighbours, Latin Christianity. This would would make them just like Poles, Czechs, and Croats (Slowaks and Slovenes too, but they ended up without a kingdom of their own (by the end of the Middle Ages)), Slavic and Christian, they don't need to be Orthodox for that. In fact by becoming Catholic themselves, Catholic neighbours will have a much harder time conquering them, since ITTL backing of the Church will be much weaker, basically only high, if they would choose to support something Heretical.
