SilverThorn Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Her full name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza which means My love Cadance in Italian. It would be cool if they explained her crown that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfox64x Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 hm, could be.... although the MLP world may not have a concept of Italy since it may not exist in our world, but the name makes sense in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Krackle Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Consider the following: we hear Discord utter "arrividerci!", which is definitely Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSwirl Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well it's Discord though, in that instance I can discount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsporko Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is Italian considered speaking fancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is Italian considered speaking fancy?Uh, at least for me it's not. But overload of Family Guy makes me think only of one thing while considering Italians...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JhuOicPFZY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 This just begs for a map of Equestria!I doubt they have "Italy" but I bet there is an analogous region. Probably with a pun-based name al-la Manehatten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 My sister's speaking in fancy!I wonder if we'll see other pony "countries" in S3? It would be interesting, and would change up the setting a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaria Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 This thread seems relevant to my interests. I'll have to thank Rosie for keeping me connected to the far reaches of Canterlot and make her some kind of CRPR board member. As obviously Italian as Cadance's full name is, I'm not sure the producers go that far when considering a few of the instances of foreign languages in the show. Rarity uses French with impunity, as Volt mentioned, but I honestly believe that's more to keep in line with her image as an attention-seeking fashionista with a love of high society.Remember, it seems Cadance was more of a "let's do this as we go" pony, as there have already been a few minor controversies over her character. The Cadance/Cadence debate, her original concept not being an alicorn, etc. Obviously if Itaily becomes canon I would toss my vote in that she was either born there or her parents frequented the country.

Lux Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Interesting to note:French, Italian, and Spanish are what are known as Romance Languages (Interesting how Cadance with her love magic has a Romance Language name).Now Romance Languages all are derived from Latin, as these countries were at one time occupied by the Roman Empire (hence the Roman in Romance).Whenever I hear something like haute coture or Mi Amore Cadenza, I think that these are like Latin in our world. Those words are probably a throwback to possibly an ancient Equestrian language, just like Latin is here. Like Latin, this ancient language isn't spoked by everypony, but there are some words that are still present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out modern languages are considered "dead" languages! *nods*lol ok that's kinda pushing it, but it's still amusing to think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dAshtons theory but about Cadence being from Itaily, I mean why not? She's a princess which means she has to be a princess of SOMETHING.

Lux Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Could be a distant Earth, but then again my throry could be just connecting to my inner Twilight Sparkle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverThorn Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I think it would be a smart move on the part of the producers. It would explain why she is a princess instead of a duchess, and it could also show that there are subkingdoms n Equestria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
