"In the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Season 1 DVD's commentary for Winter Wrap Up, executive Robert Fewkes said "the rule is only the hoofed creatures" can speak in the show (not counting mythological creatures)."

Last I checked, wolves and cheetahs don't have hooves. Go crazy having them talk in fanfic, but don't hold your breath on seeing it in official media or merchandise any time soon.
