I wonder what became of Bati del Wambara (Axmed Gurey's wife) and was she an ethnic Somali ?

After her husband Axmed Gurey died, she married Emir Nur his successor. I don't think there's much information about her life, she was not that important of a character.

It is believed she was harla (maybe she was somali but it is not sure) and after the death of Ahmed Gurey she married his nephew Nur ibn mujahid and they liberated Harar from the xabashi occupiers and established the sultanate of Harar. She was also able to revenge her late husband ahmed gurey as nur ibn mujahid killed the ethiopian emperor gelawdewos in a battle.

There were many ethio-semites who converted to islam through out the war between the muslims and the habashis. In fact many of them came from the habashi army itself. A lot of the malasay contingent who took part in the futuh were newly converted to islam. A lot of the sultans of the shewa kingdom who were muslims had habashi names and titles. For her to be of non somali origin would not be surprising and i personaly think that she is of ethio-semitic origin judging from her name.

Harari is an ethio-semitic language so you could call it a habashi language. The harari people on the other hand is an amalgamation of varies ethnicities that resides in the city. The name harari refers to the city and it's inhabitants. Hararis call themselves gey usuach meaning the people of the city and they call their language gey sinan meaning the language of the city. Their diverse nature is evident by the various languages that influenced it.

Think of it as reer xamar. Reer xamar are diverse people who live in xamar, a mixture of somali, yemeni, hindi, persian etc. I once read somewhere that imam nur ibn mujahid burned the genealogy trees that people had in order to erase the differences between people and unite them in one identity. The writer of the futuh is a yemeni who properly resided in harar so you could also call him a harari.
