I'm feel confident in believing that Eorzea is much, much larger than the game map implies. Â There's room for all kinds of languages and accents even if the vast majority of people on the game map speak the same language. Â Even where I live one can expect, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Indo-Aryan, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and those are just the ones I hear usually hear week to week.
I'm sure that many Miqo'te, especially Keepers, might still retain some of their ancestral languages. Â Mia can speak some of that language but that's no guarantee that any other Keeper would understanding it. Â I doubt that all Miqo'te had the exact same language before coming to Eorzea. Â If anything, it would be like the Romantic languages where there's a number of similarities deriving from the same source but French and Spanish are now very different languages. Â Spanish and Portuguese are very similar but still different enough to limit understanding.
Presumably, Eorzean is the equivalent of English which has long absorbed and modified all kinds of other languages. Â So basically, one can't really go wrong with language and accents as the world is plenty big enough for almost any interpretation.
