Even though the Miqo'te population is incredibly low in Eorzea compared to literally any other race on the continent, it wouldn't be unheard of for a tribe to become isolated, especially a Keeper tribe, given how they operate. A lot of the continent is known of, but doesn't seem to be heavily explored.
However, keep in mind that if an isolated Keeper Miqo'te tribe in Eorzea spoke a language other than modern Eorzean, it would likely only be the ancient Miqo'te language or a limited derivative thereof.
This sorta limits your options as far as an accent goes. Hard aitches, hissing/spitting sounds in pronunciations, and... I don't know, maybe trilled r's. Or maybe that's just Mithra.

This page sorta hints at the Miqo'te language being one of harsh sounds, so I'd predict a harsh accent. Maybe something akin to many Middle Eastern accents?
Apropos of this topic, I see a trend when it comes to this topic from one game to the next. A lot of roleplayers seem to dislike it when others point out something in the lore that limits their ability to creatively use a favored concept, especially when that concept is a foreign language/accent.
Yet, when it comes to making ones character unique, I have to wonder why having an improbable accent is so popular, to where people will invent reasons to have one. What does having an accent add to a character? How does it enrich their interactions and development? If the answer involves an alien perspective of the modern world, why is an alternative language (or especially an alternative accent) in particular so important for expressing this characteristic?
I think that every roleplayer using an unusual but popular quality to make their character unique should question whether it is a trait that affects how the character could develop, or if it's just a trope that makes for a handy label.
