Preservation of parts of the original language makes some sense, but we don't have enough information to do so. Anything we come up with might get trampled by lore, forcing us to retcon it at a later date. We'd have to come up with our own 'dialect', to name it in some way, but since there's hardly any good source of Miqo'te language anywhere, we'd be just making stuff up with no actual grounding in official lore. So if the real Miqo'te language ever comes up, we'd be in a lot of trouble to justify the inevitable huge differences between it and our dialect.
That's why I recommend against its use: we can't base it from actual lore. It would be purely speculative instead of interpretative or infered by the original text.
The original name of the tribe is the Hipparion Tribe. I don't see any reason to make another word for it. It would be meaningless and serve no practical purpose. Like changing the name 'tribe' to 'oonkla'. I would agree to use the original language if we had it. But since we don't, I don't see any compelling reason to use it. Hipparion is already kind of an obscure name, so why use an even stranger word to designate the tribe?
In fact, we can explain why the original name was lost: lack of use. The Eorzean language was more versatile and practical to use and, after many generations, it displaced the original language completely.
On an unrelated note: we have a wiki page! Wiiiii!
