Unity 332 March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 Is it possible that Equestria speak a language other than English? Now let's not get into "it's english for the sense of us viewing it". But is it possible that they speak another language. Although we haven't seen any other parts of their world. A point thst might counter it is that when someone goes through the portal to go to their "earth" they speak English. Just wanna hear your thoughts. And please no "it' just a show" as silly as it sounds I like to believe that Equestria is a real place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhythm Red 6,484 March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 (edited) I remember seeing something about a language called 'Old Ponish'. Just like our world has English and Spanish, the pony world must have a language called Ponish! Though since we don't speak Ponish, the show is in English.

King of Canterlot 9,603 March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 (edited) I believe that in Equestria, the ponies do speak a different language than what's seen in the show, though it's been translated to English for us (simply because again, we don't speak pony), this pony language can be seen in it's written form at least, such as in books or on posters in the show- Edited March 16, 2018 by King of Canterlot 1 RA RA RASPUTIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ponish is similar to Old English and German, which both happen to be predecessors of modern English. 1 Signature by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZethaPonderer 2,200 March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 Just like how Namekians in Dragonball Z have their own established Alien Language system? Well the show doesn’t specify a language system since it never goes in that much detail into the world of Equestria (cause you know its made for 5 years old in mind). This is just my hypothetical guess, but the language they would speak would be very alien to us in every single way similar to Klingons from Star Trek and Ewoks from Star Wars.

Unity 332 March 16, 2018 Author Share March 16, 2018 I really think that they may just speak English and have their own typography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xe__or 4,377 March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 Well maybe they do speak english, but write it in a different way, just like you said. I also remember Fluttershy saying "French haute couture", showing that there is french (Rarity speaks it too). 1 hello my name is Xe__or and this is disney channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganondorf8 11,397 March 17, 2018 Share March 17, 2018 There was the mentioning of 'old ponish' in the season seven finale though it was more for comedic effect and plot convenience. Someone brought up 'The Cutie Pox' episode where Apple Bloom gained more than one cutie mark by providing the scene where she spoke French. It was more of a tongue-and-cheek reference to the fact that Canada--where the show is both animated and voiced--has English and French as its official languages.
