nonKhitan

NonKhitan refers to a group of people who are not of Khitan ethnicity. The Khitan people were a Turkic-speaking ethnic group that originated in the region of modern-day Inner Mongolia, China. They established the Liao Dynasty in 907 AD, which ruled over a significant portion of northern China until its fall in 1127. The term "nonKhitan" is often used in historical and anthropological contexts to describe individuals who were not part of the Khitan ethnic group.

The nonKhitan population during the Liao Dynasty was diverse and included various ethnic groups such as Han Chinese, Mongols, Tibetans, and other Turkic peoples. These groups contributed to the cultural and political landscape of the Liao Dynasty, often playing significant roles in its administration, military, and economy. The interactions between Khitan and nonKhitan peoples during this period were complex and multifaceted, involving elements of cooperation, conflict, and cultural exchange.

After the fall of the Liao Dynasty, many nonKhitan groups continued to inhabit the regions that had been under Liao control. Some, like the Mongols, went on to establish their own empires, while others were assimilated into the Han Chinese majority. The legacy of the Liao Dynasty and its nonKhitan inhabitants can still be seen in the cultural, linguistic, and historical records of northern China.
