<p>There is no official answer to the reason for speaking a different language. But, the language is tied into the magic system that the device uses. </p>

<p>There are: </p>

<ul>
<li>English for <em>Mid-Childa</em> devices </li>
<li>German for the <em>Ancient-Belkan</em> devices </li>
<li>Japanese for <em><a href="http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Unison_Device" rel="nofollow">Unison</a></em> devices</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Unison</em> devices are the devices that merge with their master to increase the combat capabilities, such as <em><a href="http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Reinforce" rel="nofollow">Reinforce</a></em> and <em><a href="http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Agito" rel="nofollow">Agito</a></em>. The devices that are up for the debate are the <em>Modern-Belkan</em> devices, such as <em><a href="http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Strada" rel="nofollow">Strada</a> (Erio)</em> using German, while <em><a href="http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Mach_Caliber" rel="nofollow">Mach Caliber</a> (Subaru)</em> uses English. </p>

<p>My personal opinion would be that <em>Modern-Belkan</em> devices capable of transforming form would use German (<em>Strada</em>), while others do not (<em>Mach Caliber</em>).</p>

<p>It's obvious that the magic weapons that Nanoha and the rest wield have different nationalities, as Rising Heart speaks English, but Hayate's Knight's weapons don't.</p>

<p>I am wondering: what are the nationalities of the weapons based on?</p>

There is no official answer to the reason for speaking a different language. But, the language is tied into the magic system that the device uses.

There are:

* English for *Mid-Childa* devices
* German for the *Ancient-Belkan* devices
* Japanese for *[Unison](http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Unison_Device)* devices

*Unison* devices are the devices that merge with their master to increase the combat capabilities, such as *[Reinforce](http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Reinforce)* and *[Agito](http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Agito)*. The devices that are up for the debate are the *Modern-Belkan* devices, such as *[Strada](http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Strada) (Erio)* using German, while *[Mach Caliber](http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Mach_Caliber) (Subaru)* uses English.

My personal opinion would be that *Modern-Belkan* devices capable of transforming form would use German (*Strada*), while others do not (*Mach Caliber*).
