Is it possible that if the Western Roman Empire would have survived in some political form through the middle-ages (in a form of extended Carolingian rule or surviving Visigothic-Northern African if Arab expansion is butterflied away) the different Romances could have finally converged in a sort of unified (koiné) standard of Neo-Latin?
At least implying Italic and Iberian romances and possibly Oc. Maybe also Northern African romances if the Arabs did not expand.
Could this Western Romance resemble Italian or it could be completely different?
