FreelanceWizard pretty much summed up my thoughts on the matter. All of the city-states in Eorzea seem to be quite cosmopolitan, with nary a trace of a disparate languages aside from racial naming conventions.
Honestly, if you speak French - for example - and intend for it to be understood by other players who roleplay themselves being from Ishgard you should not expect them to a.) know French or b.) use Google Translate to understand what your character is saying. It's your head-canon, not theirs, and they shouldn't be beholden to it.
Otherwise, in my opinion, go crazy with it if it makes you happy.
