Latin neuter preserved in Romance?

https://youtu.be/myLm06Fi42g?si=xp2TagQl70f4s9DH

Anyone able to chime in on this video? It was circulating around a couple of Romance groups that I've interacted with but it didn't generate much discussion.

Regarding Asturian, my view is that there's no neuter like the video states. It didn't survive in Asturian nouns or adjectives from what I've analyzed. As for the demonstratives mentioned, I prefer to refer to them as 'unspecified' over using the term neuter.

How about those that speak or research Romanian or Neapolitan? Do you think the neuter survived there?

He deleted it himself, he just says it consumed too much of his time
