Excerpt: The Liao Dynasty (simplified Chinese: traditional Chinese: pinyin: Liao Chao, Khitan language: Mos Jaelut), 907-1125, also known as the Khitan Empire ( pinyin: Qid n Guo, Khitan: Mos diau-d kitai huld i gur), was an empire in East Asia that ruled over the regions of Manchuria, Mongolia, and parts of northern China proper. It was founded by the Yelu clan (Chinese: Y l, Khitan language: written i.ra.u.ud, spoken Yaruud) of the Khitan people in the same year as Tang Dynasty collapsed (907), even though its first ruler, Yelu Abaoji (Yaruud Ambagai Khan), did not declare an era name until 916. Although it was originally known as the Empire of the Khitan, the Emperor Yelu Ruan officially adopted the name "Liao" (formally "Great Liao") in 947 (938?). The name "Liao" was dropped in 983, but readopted in 1066. Another name for China in English, Cathay, is derived from the name Khita.
