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.

I am wondering: what are the nationalities of the weapons based on?

What are the nationalities of the magic weapons?


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_ ).
