The lore book did no such thing. "Speak the common tongue of the [Eorzean] Hyur" and "have their own local ancestral language" are not mutually exclusive concepts. "Its culture developed for thousands of years with no influence from the West" and "they spoke the same language all along" are.
General plea: Please stop spreading this quote out of context. It's disingenuous.
This is pretty rude. It's pretty hard to spread the quote out of context when...that IS the context.
I think you're arguing semantics. I think you're splitting hairs. I think the Domans quite certainly have their own unique dialect and at one point in the distant past perhaps a language but it's not anything in use today as per the book.
That sentence quite literally means "The Eorzeans and the Domans speak the same language." Additionally, just about everyone I've met that has read that passage took it to mean this.
That being said, please feel free to RP what you wish as per your enjoyment and your discretion.
