According to their tradition Kebena people also originally spoke the Semitic Harari language of Silte however shifted to Cushitic Timbaro. Hadiya was historically a vassal state of the Adal federation and then became an autonomous province of Abyssinia in the fourteenth century while still remaining a member of the Zeila union.
