Hatlian

History
In the 15th century, the area of Hatlania was colonized by the Welsh, in which new loanwords were coined from Welsh to Hatlian.

In the 16th century, the area was also occupied by the Finnish, bringing in many more loanwords from Finnish, although classified as a language isolate.

After the 17th century and later, the area was not occupied by Finland anymore, but more technical words (from English), are now added, such as computer and phone.
