==Origin==
According to the historian [[Paul B. Henze]], the [[Gurage]] origin is explained by traditions of a military expedition to the south during the last years of the [[Kingdom of Aksum]], which left military colonies that eventually became isolated from both northern Ethiopia and each other.<ref>Henze, ''Layers of Time'' (New York: Palgrave, 2000), p. 112.</ref> However other historians
Braukhamper also states King [[Amda Seyon]] ordered [[Eritrea]]n troops to be sent to mountainous regions in Gurage (named Gerege), which eventually became a permanent settlement. In addition to Amda Seyon's military settlement there, the permanence of Abyssinian presence in Gurage is documented during his descendants [[Zara Yaqob]] and [[Dawit II]]'s reigns. Thus, historically, Gurage peoples may be the product of a complex mixture of [[Abyssinian people|Abyssinian]] and [[Harla]] groups which migrated and settled in that region for different reasons and at various times.<ref name="auto"/>

Aside from local oral traditions linking their past to areas farther north, the Gurage countryside is home to orthodox Christian monasteries likely dating to the Middle Ages (Debre Tsion Maryam, Muher Iyesus, Abuna Gebre Menfes Kiddus, and others), before the conquests
