《辽史》中关于党项人的称谓并不完全统一,在涉及到部族时也使用唐古一词。唐古是Tangut的对音,这个族称可能是契丹借自突厥或回鹘,通常用来指那些被纳入辽朝国家体制的党项部族。这些部族主要来源于帝国早期对党项部落的扩张和掠夺战争。在行政和军事意义上,唐古诸部已经属于辽代国族(契丹人)的一种。 “Liao history” on the title of party items is not completely unified, when it comes to the tribe also use the word ancient Tang. Tangu is Tangut’s vowel, a tribe called Khitan borrowed from the Turks or Hui, usually used to refer to those party clans that were incorporated into the Liao Dynasty’s national system. These tribes mainly come from the Empire early tribe expansion and plundering wars. In the administrative and military sense, all the Tang clan departments belong to the Liao ethnic group (Khitan people).
