Less communication between Europe and Asia until a later date. Central Asia is probably Buddhist. Central Asia as a whole will probably be more coherent politically, since their local empires won't have been totally destroyed. Ethnic groups are more diverse and distinct.
The Crusades face stronger and less distracted Muslim empires in the holy land but without the horde and the conversion to Islam the Black Sea area and steppes go Eastern Orthodox.

I've read a book recently. I do not remember exactly the title but something like "Communication and mutual influence between Iran/Persia and China in the X-XII centuries AD".the caravan routes were already established, so maybe the amount of communication is reduced, but not enough to have an impact.

no black death mean europe had lots and lots more people, so the muslims might be pushed back.
Wasn't Central Asia already Muslim? The Central Asian dynasty that the Mongols invaded (the Khwarazmian dynasty), for instance, was Muslim.
But no black death also means more Muslims (it affected the middle east too) and more Mongols means tons more Muslims in the region...
Central Asia was pretty ambiguous. There was a strong Nestorian Christian element, and yes, the Khwarizmis were Muslim, but of course had local beliefs closely intertwined with its brand of Islam (much like in India), and these beliefs were vaguely Tengri or other forms of Animism. Zoroastrianism had not completely died out yet, and Oriental Christianity in general had pockets of influence, as did Judaism in some small corners. All of this was very transient and almost never unified or clear.
