I really really REALLY enjoyed this book, and then went on to read all of R F Kuang's work due to this book. I realized I'm not just obsessed with this particular book but I'm more so obsessed with her writing style, particularly in this book. The Poppy War trilogy then solidified my love for this writing style and I'm looking for other books like Babel that incorporate accurate depictions of other cultures, languages, and histories. Any recommendations?

Hii, I'm not an expert or anything, but I also love this type of books, which are considered to be considered Dark Academia, so if you want more books in this style I can give you this list that I found.

I have read many of the books there and Babel is one of my favorites. I hope they are useful to you and that you find one that you like. <3

Babel quite reminded me of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell in style and tone. Though I'm not sure it has the same level of social commentary, if that's what you liked about Babel.
The Poppy war trilogy reminds me of this genre "Wuxia" (means Martial Arts hero) in chinese fiction, kinda like fantasy + historical. I read a lot of books like this during my school years. One of the legendary writers is Jin Yong, I believe some of his works are translated to English. I have read all of his work multiple times but I have not read his work in English so I can't say if they are good or not.
