Why do ponies speak English?

I read a fanfic that english humans used to rule over the ponies, and they forced the ponies to learn English, after the ponies killed the humans they carried on with using english.

 

That sounds pretty interesting... I was thinking of something like this before, I mean WAY before.

 

As the apocalypse approached in time, humans required a new way to survive... Space travel, protective bunkers, or maybe... evolution. Everything was weighed out... Space travel wouldn't provide enough resources, protective bunkers were no different. Perhaps evolution was not as bad as they thought it would be? Biology had long upgraded itself, extending to impossible feats, why not attempt to save the world with the concepts developed? With the mix of Biology and Chemistry, a large mixture of elements concluded to one element... So far unnamed...

 

Tests had been configured tenuously, only with the exposure to more and more consequences to their decisions, mutations causing comas, evolution extending not only to fauna, but flora as well. Because of its great nature to spread, it was dubbed EQUESTtriaite for its habit to quest for mutation.

 

The symptoms on humans followed such process:

- Extreme limb distortion.

- Bone structure change.

- Average Two-Year Coma.

 

The results were shocking... This new element that had been designed to save the Earth had mutated humans into a more "basic" form, Equines... However, thankful to the Equestriaite, the new equines saw that vegetation had survived what they thought would be the end of "humanity's" existance. Further mutation went unrecorded as the years continued, but had ended in impossible manifests such as anti-gravity wings and magic.

The way I see it is that we're watching a translation. The ponies all speak Equestrian or Ponyese, or however their language is called, hence their writing system with all of these strange characters and stuff. And all of it was translated so that we can understand what they say.

 

Of course I'm overthinking it quite a bit. The actual reason is that watching a show that's in a completely unknown language would get old after a while. ;)

It's also worth noting that things like signs and letters which appear in the show are in Ponese, and are not translated.

 

Interestingly, written Ponese looks suspiciously like like English, but obscured.

 

In the show I've seen 4 different types of writing, Enlgish (Welcome Princess Celest and Daring Do books), Squiggly (Handwriting), Weird Russian like thingy (Sisterhooves Social flyer) and ponylike symbols (Talent show flyer). It seems to me the hasbro gods are doing a sloopy job at translating the show, wich we all know is originally in Ponese

I was wondering Eenohay, since you are in Chile, are your ponies speaking English or Spanish? I know in Chile I've seen Seinfeld in English with Spanish subtitles but given MLP is supposed to be a kid's show, I would expect it to be in Spanish.

 

Actually, they speak German...

 

I love German Pinkie Pie! I took 3 years of German in college - I want to learn to sing the German versions of the songs. Deutsch macht spass! :lol:

 

Oh wow, I love German Rarity too! They did a great job doing all of the songs in German. Art of the Dress, Winter Wrap Up, they are wunderbar!

Not only English, Applebloom spoke French too...

 

Which leads me to think, that if they speak French, France must be a real place in the pony-world. And if France is in the pony-world, then Equestria is in our world. Equestria is real guys. Let's find it.


But what do I know? I'm just a stupid kid.

She was speaking Fancy. You know, the national language of Fance.

 

It used to be known as Prance, that is until the civil war happened and the Finch family took power.

Sheeoot... This whole 'deaf in right ear' thing isn't helping me at all. Maybe I should watch ponies in ASL.

Anyone find it weird that they live in a totally different world yet they bring up countries and sayings from our world, like discord saying Arrivederci for example and Rarity saying the best of the best in french in her becoming popular song?

 

Yea but its fun to imagine if only Bronies understand The language of ponies and everyone else hears reg. pony noises

 

I say we invent the pony language.

The nuclear war mutated the humans of the world into ponies and crossed some of them with birds, so they retained their ability to speak and can fly. Ponies have an easier time accessing parts of their brains than humans do, which is why they can use magic.
