I've generally been of the opinion that, if a group is sufficiently reclusive, they may have their own unintelligible dialect or actual separate language from Eorzea as a whole. So, personally, I say go for it -- given your premise of an isolated tribe. It's the isolation, IMO, that makes it work, unless they were using a cryptolect (like the Dutiful Sisters are in their thieves' cant).

I think the primary opposition comes to claims that races and city-states have their own languages (such as a "miqo'te tongue" in common use, or Gridanians speaking a different language from Lominsans). This doesn't preclude linguistic variation at the fringes of city-state society, of course. Smile
