Šetâmol was the name given natively to the language spoken by the Wañelinlawag people of western Peilaš, in around -500 YP. The Wañelinlawag were descendants of the speakers of the Çetázó language, and Šetâmol is regarded as a daughter language of Çetázó. Thus it belongs to the Lake subgroup of the Western language family.

The name Šetâmol itself is derived from Ç. Çetázó 'Çetázó' + moɬi 'tongue'. Wañelinlawag is derived from the name of the lake referred to natively as Wañelín (Ç. Γañeɬina 'big lake'). By -500 YP, the speakers of Šetâmol had expanded to govern a small empire that encompassed the entirety of the shores of the Wañelín.
