Why would Greek speaking Christians all of the sudden decide to speak Galatian? Maybe Aramaic.The second problem can be solved with Galatian language revival, the Galatian church consider Greek Language to be too influenced by Imperial Church, start using Galatian language as liturgical language, then encourage it spread among lay member.
The Paulicians were on the fringe of a weakened Empire faced with the rise of Islam. The Galatians have neither of these to help them.The first problem is the one that difficult to solve. Galatian successfully converted enough people to establishing strong Galatian Kingdom in Anatolia ? other heretic sect, Paulician, managed to establish independent state for several years.
Maybe if the Third Century Crisis is never resolved, Galatia could be established as a buffer state between Rome and Palmyra. Even then, I don't know if this saves the language.
