In an isolated life, what would be the effects of children learning language?

In this unusual case, three young children,ages 4–14 were discovered in an isolated basement cellar. From birth to the time of their discovery, they had never associated with other members of their speech community. The only adult they interacted with frequently was their young mother. What would be the effect that you think this situation might have had on their language development and why this effect would happen?
