The idea of the actual languages existing, Doman and Hingan in particular, is fully supported by the English translation. Therefore, that's what I go with. Because I play the English version, Eorzean seems based in English (see your map, 'no entry' signs, etc - I don't believe those change when you change translation of the game!), and of course, I RP in English.
Plus there's things like this:
Random fancy squiggles and not evidence of an actual language that is still used? It is definitely different than Eorzean script.
