After enumerating Chinese materials concerning the Qitay (Ch'i-tan) characters and language, and describing the developments in the research on this problem by the Western and Eastern scholars, the author commends the recent achievements of Shichiro Murayama. Murayama discovered that over 220 letters in the Qitay alphabet were similar in form to the old Turkish script, Rune, and that the Qitay language itself was Middle Mongolian. As a result of these findings, he succeeded in deciphering one part of the Qitay epitaphs found at War in Manha, Balin Left Banner, Jehol Province, China.
