Ethnicity of the Dynasty

"The Abyssinian king (negus) Yeshaq (1414-1429) expanded his kingdom's political and commercial interests into the trade routes and domains of the Somali Kingdom of Ifat, centered in Zeila."-Somalia: background information for Operation Restore Hope, 1992-93, page 16
"The rulers of Somalia found help from the Yemenite king and soon founded, in the region of Harer (in eastern Ethiopia), the Adal Sultanate.-The encyclopedia of Christianity: Volume 5 - Page 117

The first source states that the Ifat Sultanate, wich was founded by the Walashama dynasty, was Somali. And the second one imply that the Adal Sultanate was founded with the help of the Yemenite king, and the Adal Sultanate was ruled by the remnants of the Walashama dynasty. I have an other source for you, showing that Zeila and Ifat were ruled by Somali-Arabs:

"Many centuries of trade relation with Arabia began with the establishment of commercial colonies along the coas by the Himmyrati Kingdom and these eventually developed into two small states of Zeila or Adal in the north and Mogadishu in the south, gradually local dynasties of Somalized Arabs or Arabized Somali ruled.".

Here is an other:

"In due time these converts even established the Muslim sultanates of Ifat, Dawaro, Adal, and dahlak and put pressure on the highland Ethiopian Christians by controlling trade through the main seaports of Suakin, Aydhab, Zeila, and Berbera."-Encyclopedia of Africa south of the Sahara, page 62

But remember I'm not saying that the Sultanates of Ifat and Adal were Somali, but the rulers were Arabized Somali or Somalized Arabs. Runehelmet (talk) 15:41, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
