We know other languages exist in canon. Pinkie has sung in Spanish, Applebloom has spoken in French, Cadance's real name is in Italian. It's not a stretch to assume their languages developed the same way ours did.

They don't write in English, and they don't speak English; they speak in clicks and whinnies. The English-language version is just a dub.
