The turks if anything. Nothing but a bit of their language belonged to them. Food is Serbian, religion is Arabic, clothes are also stolen from all over.

How would the world have looked if the French and American revolutions failed? Let's assume secularist, deist and Freemasons essentially loose the culture war in this scenario.

How though? The various states of Europe didn't look like that even then.

Probably something similar to super-religious ex-communist countries like Poland.

People talk differently as time goes on, you can notice this happen every decade.
So imagine how different Latin sounded, decade by decade in ancient Rome.
Catchphrases and slang terms in 1070 England differing from 1080s England.
Did commoners use any words that nobody bothered to record?
Throw into that, social mores, the 'newest thing', Its amazing how little we actually know

Ethnically and racially, Who were the groups that inhabited the Roman era North Africa and Levant? Were they similar to the current inhabitants of those pleaces or closer to the Romans themselves?

Caucasian in north africa with semitics in carthage, northern egypt was probably a some mix between the two. Hard to say for the levant, lots of different diaspora living in the regions, but not together.

What would have happened if the 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt had been successful?
Would the USSR have survived further into the 90's (or even the new millenium)?

Civil war between the hardliners, reformists, and various ethnic nationalists. May well go nuclear.
>>
It'd have survived, but solely as Russia. If they tried to use their crumbling disorganized army against the centralized and Western funded armies of the various break-away states they'd have lost badly. Then it would either be a status quo or America would attempt to topple them once and for all through proxy funding the breakaway states to capture Moscow.

Doubtful.
It would be bloody certainly, perhaps nearing what the Chechen Wars were, but with NATO unwilling to actually step in, Russia would eventually win out over the smaller nations it neighbors.
Estonia, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, none could stand up to Russia on a military stance, western supplies or not.

Some more Soviet jokes:
Rabinovich was working in baby carriage factory. Since his wife was pregnant, he decided to steal parts one at a time after work to build one for her. He did it until he finally had all parts.
But every time he tried to put it together it was always AK47.
Middle of night, burglars break into building. They look around, but there's nothing inside to steal.
"Dammit Ivan, this is store!"
Car with lights off approaches house in the middle of night. In a moment someone starts breaking down door. The owner is terrified and in panic starts to burn his books and notes until intruder stops him.
"Please calm down this is just burglary"
Monument to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, great Russian poet, was proposed. There was contest for monument design. Top three entries received awards and the best one was constructed. The winning designs depicted:
Third place: Pushkin reading the works of Stalin
Second place: Stalin reading the works of Pushkin
First place: Stalin reading the works of Stalin

>Radio Yerevan was asked: "Is it true that conditions in our labor camps are humane?"
>Radio Yerevan asnwered: In principle, yes. Five years ago, one of our listeners, Ilya Schmencheravik, was dubious about this, so he went to investigate. He seems to have liked it there so much he hasn't returned yet.
>Radio Yerevan was asked" Why is our government in no hurry to duplicate the Americans and land a man on the moon?"
>Radio Yerevan answered "What if they refuse to return?"
>Radio Yerevan was asked "Is it possible to build communism in America?"
>Radio Yerevan answered: In principle, yes. But then who will we buy grain from?
>Radio Yerevan was asked "Is it true that every Soviet soldier dreams of becoming a general?
>Radio Yerevan answered: "No, our soldiers are not that stupid. They know that many generals become MIA even during peacetime."
