u seem to misunderstand my post i didn't claim archaeologist done in 1814 sxb, In the early 1800s and 1814, It was documented that Harar was exclusively inhabited by Somalis. French account states the following,
“𝘈𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘪, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺,𝘵𝘩𝘦 16𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤.”
''no source from before the beginning of the 20th century does mention their existence as a population''
they claim to be descendent of harla but harla claim somali
The first mention of Harari, is by Richard Burton,who visited Harar in 1850. The term Harari is loosely used for any person that’s a resident of Harar. Present day Harari’s are an amalgamation of Oromo-Habeshi & Arab immigrants, why didn't he differentiate or mention the so called distinct harari group lol
The recent amalgamation of people who came to Harar recently, identified with the city of Harar hence why they call themselves “ Harari” Text below shows how the Amir before the Egyptians came to power due to Oromo marriage alliance. After the Oromo rulers most likely continued
