Harari is an Ethiopian Semitic language spoken by the Harari people of Ethiopia. According to the 2007 Ethiopian census, it is spoken by 25,810 people. Harari is closely related to the Eastern Gurage languages, Zay, and Silt'e, all of whom are believed to be linked to the now extinct Semitic Harla language.[5][6] Locals or natives of Harar refer to their language as Gē Sinan or Gē Ritma'language of the City' (Gē is the word for how Harari speakers refer to the city of Harar, whose name is an exonym).[7] According to Wolf Leslau, Sidamo is the substratum language of Harari and influenced the vocabulary greatly.[8] He identified unique Cushitic loanwords found only in Harari and deduced that it may have Cushitic roots.[9]
Harari was originally written with a version of the Arabic script, then the Ethiopic script was adopted to write the language. Some Harari speakers in diaspora write their language with the Latin alphabet.
