I suppose it might be comparable to the Men of Gondor building the monument in Umbar to Ar-Pharazōn's humbling of Sauron despite Pharazōn being the leader of the King's Men. If they were fine with that then perhaps using their old language was fine regardless of its historical political and spiritual connotations.
