However, there is no evidence what so ever that the lore supports them still having things like their own language after being in Eorzea for so long. I guess if they were some isolated tribe in the ass end of Eorzea that we can't even access..? xD(12-15-2013, 03:57 PM)Aysun Wrote:But if someone wants to RP a Miqo'te who grew up in a clan/tribe that clung to their traditions and lived a more isolated cultural lifestyle then the lore supports that too.(12-14-2013, 03:27 AM)Knight Kat Wrote: Ah well, it was worth asking I suppose.
You'd think that the traditional Miqo'te tribes and clans wouldn't be so quick to assimilate a common Eorzean language as their primary language. Also, Miqo'te names are so different from the common language's words that you'd think they would have to know at least a bit of the old language so that they can continue to give their children traditional names.Â
It's not been quick. Miqo'te have been in Eorzea for quite a long time. They migrated during the 5th Umbral era, between 1500 and 4000 years ago. They're not as primitive as most people like to assume.
The lore seems to suggest that traditional Miqo'te societies are not doing well, but they still are out there. If a people are still living a more traditional lifestyle, I don't think its a stretch to say that these more traditional Miqo'te can have knowledge of a more traditional language. I hope I don't have to type the word "traditional" any more...
