It'd be dapper if there were different languages. It makes things more interesting, (esp. for the sake of RP.)
It would be interesting, but the lore closes the door on it, sadly.
Of course, you can RP whatever you like, but if you assert the existence of languages that aren't supported in lore, you need to have an explanation for them that supports your story and doesn't clobber others' stories or the official lore. One way is to have your character come from some esoteric area where the language is still used, for instance. You wouldn't want to claim you're a master of the modern miqo'te tongue and that you learned it from a variety of miqo'te you've met in the city-states, since there's no lore support for that; other characters (especially other miqo'te characters!) would have to either accept your assertion or react as if you're lying or, perhaps, touched.
IMO, though, the larger issue is what this buys you narratively. The further you stretch the lore, the more it should enhance your (and others') stories, lest you slide into "special snowflake" territory.
