You could leave all of this to your agent or editor / publisher.

Here are the easy steps:

write the book
convince an agent to take you and your work on / or convince a publisher to publish your book.
Let them worry about obtaining rights

If your agent or publisher is unable to obtain rights, then, at that point, your book will be done and you can make up your own language. Voila!

Maybe you are self-publishing with no agent or outside publisher?
In that case, follow these steps:

Write the book
publish the book
get thousands of people to read it

If you never get thousands to read it, it won't matter if you're not allowed to have the rights anyways.

If you do get thousands of people to read it, then if someone complains, you can remove the references to the borrowed language and replace it with your own.
