Wealdish (/ˈwiːl.dɪʃ/ WEEL-dish, [wæʏ̯ðʲiɕ]) is one of the three languages spoken within the fifth generation of My Little Pony. It developed from Ponish during 1500 CE along with Havougish and Niosh. Out of the three languages, Wealdish is the most innovative, both in phonetics and orthography. Niosh is natively spoken by the unicorns within Bridlewood Forest.
