Harari is the language of the Harari people. It is an Afro-
Asiatic language of the Semitic branch and is a member
of the Ethiosemitic group. Harari is closely related to
the Eastern Gurage languages, Zay, and Silt'e, all of
whom are linked to the now extinct Semitic Harla
language. The Harari people or natives of Harar refer to
it as Gēy Ritma or Gēy Sinan "language of the
City" (Gēy is the word for how Harari speakers refer to
Harar, whose name is an exonym).
Harari was originally written with a version of the
Arabic script, then the Ge'ez (Ethiopic) script was
adopted to write the language. Some Harari speakers in
diaspora write their language with the Latin alphabet.

ስለ ሐረሪ ብሄረሰብ ባህልን ካለማወቅ የተነሳ አንዳንዶች
"ሸዋልኢድን ሃይማኖታዊ በአል ጋር አገናኝተው ሙስሊም ሁለት ኢድ ብቻ ነው ያለው ሸዋል ኢድ የሚባል ነገር የለም": እያሉ ሲተቹ ታዝቤያለሁ::
  እርግጥ ነው ሙስሊም ሁለት ሃይማኖታዊ ኢዶች ብቻ አሉት፣
  በሌላ በኩል ደግሞ ብሄር ብሔረሰቦች  በርካታ ሃይማኖታዊ ያልሆኑ ባህላዊ ክብረ በአላት አሏቸው ፣
  የሀረሪዎችም ካሏቸው በርካታ ባህላዊ ከብረ በአላት "ሸዋልኢድ" አንዱ ነው ክብረ በአሉ ባህላዊ የመተጫጫ ክብረ በአል ነው፣
"ኢድ" የምትለዋ ቃል በሃረሪ ቋንቋ  " ክብረ በአል"  ማለት ነው ከእስልምናው ሁለቱ ኢዶች ጋር የሚያገናኘው ነገር የለም።
