History

Colonization

Around 1523 the language was in it's Late Middle Cannasacian period when the Hegamonian people and English started colonizing Equestria. This decreased the number of Cannasacian speakers who favored Hegamonian and Essedrish as first languages. Lots of loan words from these languages were imported to Cannasacian at this time.
