The title explains my question fairly well, but I will elaborate on my stance to make more sense.
I play a character from a Miqo'te tribe that severely distrusts outsiders. They know Eorzean because of their roots, being a splinter of the Jaguar (Y) tribe, but in general they speak in a tribal dialect to better engage with only other tribe members. This is one of Y'lani's many trials; her tribe is absurdly cautious, for the more acquainted with the outside world she becomes, the less they feel they can trust her coming back to the tribe.
Her tribe's dialect has driven her to only know Eorzean in bits and pieces. Except I don't know how plausible this is, and I was hoping for more lore on the subject. That's about it! I don't want to retcon her, but I do want to learn more about Eorzea's different dialects and languages, and if hers... works. I have not used her dialect in roleplay, nor do I expect she will - but I would like to keep her scattered dialogue until she better learns the language.Â
What do you all think? The question isn't exclusively for my own character, so feel free to dump as much lore on dialects and languages in Eorzea as you can!
