The existence of Olílò was unchallenged until [[Emmiria|Emmirian]] contact in the 900s, changing traditional life through religion, customs, ideas and language, all of which still resounds with Emmirian loanwords in Wallene vocabulary - one example is ''bándaril'' (''port; harbour''), phonemes from Emmirian phonology and the formation of a creole language - [[Banaḫdālemērai]].
The next point of change was [[Quetana|Quetanan]] colonisation, beginning with efforts in the 1540s by companies tasked to establish settlements. By the beginning of the 1700s, [[wikipedia:Portuguese language|Qoati]] was the language of trade and governance for the [[Companhia Imperial das Ilhas das Especiarias Quetanan]]
