Aboriginal People (6th Century BC - 13th Century AD)
The earliest known recorded settlers of the islands are the Sipatu and Tawa people (at the time, most of the islands were connected due to glaciers). Both tribes spoke different languages and had different cultures, and lived generally in peace, until circa 128 BC (estimations made with the Sipatu Calendar) where they started to fight for control of the land. The war wasn't an all-out war, but more like several turf wars in different location. In the end, the Sipatu defeated the Tawa circa 97 BC, turning most of the remaining survivors into slaves.

There was another tribe living on the islands, the Chuchip people. They lived on an island that was far enough from the main island to not be linked to it. The Chuchip eventually made their way to the main island using primitive boats, only to be greeted by the Sipatu, who had control of the entire island. They didn't go to war though, and even became close allies for centuries to come.

The natives were cut from the mainland, and thus developped differently. So differently that by the 13th century AD, they only had Ancient Rome-like technology, so when came the Danes, they got slaughtered and enslaved.

Dane occupation (13th - 16th Century AD)
After ridding the land of any bothersome native, the Danes settled there, having technically discovered America. With the time, their language started evolving into what is now known as Old Vaarlandic. Not everyone spoke it though, as they still had a close commercial connection with Europe, and still had to speak and understand Danish.

16th Century came though, and the British colonised Canada, and soon after discovered the island, where they met the Danes. By then, the Danes living there were far from your stereotypical Viking, and were much more civilised, so they cohabited with the British, even though they were technically a possession of the crown now.

British and Canadian Occupation (16th Century - 1947)
The British occupied the island for a while, spreading the english language once again. It remained like that for a while, until World War I, where locals got forced to fight for the crown, where about 79,000 of them died (note that they were considered Canadian at the time). World War II happened, and this time "only" 56,000 died. After that, they started to grow tired of being occupied all the time, and a revolutionary movement appeared in 1946, which took action in 1947 with several riots and strikes.
