So, all of Germany is Romance speaking? Austria too? Padraic
Not quite - I've replaced the upper and cenral German dialects with a Romance ones, Low German/Low Saxon (Nedders�ssich) still exists as *here*, although I may have a play at that later. I suppose that means con-politically "Germany" wouldn't exist, as there would be no common national identity in 1848 or 71. You'd be looking at a protestant, Saxon speaking North German state (Prussia? Saxony?) and a catholic, Romance speaking Austo-Bavarian state which would presumably eventually come to also incorporate Baden and W�rttemberg. Assuming our 'Roman' Hapsburgs dominated the Southern state, then Swizerland would be a separate state for the same reasons as here, but with my language taking its palce alongside French and Italian in lieu of Schwyzert�utsch.
