About Verd'landian
Verd'landian [vɛrdʲlandian] language has got its actual form approximately in 2016, while some separate elements of its lexicon and grammar begin their history back in 2012. Created as a service dialect of Verd'landian fictional universe which was factually abandoned, nowadays it's being used as a national language of Verd'landians, an artificial ethnic group and its own micronation. Both are semi-abandoned due to creator's personal reasons, so, the fate of language stays to be under danger. Verd'landian lexicon doesn't exceed an amount of 2000 words, the development of language is slow, and at this moment no ways to spread language exist, making it dependent of its own creator who is the only speaker of Verd'landian.

Its name can be explained in two ways:
1) In fictional Verd'land it is used in Estuarian Region (called so as it is located near the estuary of Rummala, the biggest river of Verd'land).
2) The roots of language IRL are from Bessarabia, more precisely — from Northern Budzhak near the estuary of Dniester river. This also explains the Romanian lexic.
