Questions about `〜はる` 敬語

Question

One thing I've never fully gotten a grasp on is the 〜はる form of "敬語", and I have some questions about it.

Is it official 敬語 recognized by the 文部省, or is it just more of a regionally accepted politeness?
- What regions even use this form commonly?
What is its politeness level, and how does it compare/fit it with 丁寧語・尊敬語・謙譲語?
- I was once stopped in Osaka by the police (because my bicycle was clearly stolen </sarcasm>) and they used it toward me - どこで買わはりました？
Which はる is this, and how did it evolve to this usage of politeness?

Apologies if this is too many questions for one topic.

I was stopped by the police in Leicester, too... hehehe

Why is 来はる キ instead of コ? 構成は　否定形の語幹＋はる　なんじゃない？

@istrasci おおっ！「[来]{こ}はる」「[来]{こ}はらへん」じゃなくて「[来]{き}はる」「[来]{き}はらへん」ですね。なんでだろう！？他のと違うんだぁ・・・初めて知りましたwww

@itrasci, according to ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/…, it's regional whether it attaches to 未然形 or 連用形. But apparently 来る is always きはる, and 通る is always 通らはる, so the grammar seems a bit more complicated than that.

@Chocolate 感覚的な話で申し訳ないのですが、「来はる」って、もうひとつ「敬語的な響き」がしませんね。やはり、「来る」という、非敬語的な動詞が元になっているからだと思いますが、関西には「ござる」または「いらっしゃる」をベースとした敬語の動詞は存在しますか。ちなみに、名古屋弁には「ござらした」とか「ござりゃーた」という言葉があります。「いらっしゃった」という意味ですが、これの関西版があれば知りたいと思います。ヨロ
