That's interesting. Well, I don't know much about Burgundians other than they were an East Germanic nation-tribe. But if their case was anything similar to that of the Goths, then it is probable that by the time that they settled in that region they spoke some form of Late Latin or partly romanced language.
As for the rest, I think that both of you (Cirrus and Carnyx) have a point. Even where your points do not fully coincide.
As for the Identitarians, a huge mistake is to pretend to apply one model to follow everywhere in Europe, which does not take into account the individual characteristics of each Identity.
During some identitarian convention recently, they played the fool when they assumed what no one had told them to assume about some group that they had invited in. Not to speak of public comments made by someone that gave support to a left multiculturalist group. So even the presumed "cultural" aspect of the identitarians can be argued.
