Japanese: ケレイト - けれいと(英語表記)Kereit
Kereit (English spelling)

A Mongolian nomadic tribe that occupied the Orkhon River and Tuul River basins in Outer Mongolia from the 11th century to the beginning of the 13th century. In Chinese characters, it is written as ケ麗. Influenced by the Turkish culture to the west, its ruling class was a follower of Nestorian Christianity. In the second half of the 12th century, its king Toghrul called himself Wan Khan, and was attacked by Genghis Khan, who had risen to power at that time. He was killed in 1203, and the Kerait Kingdom was destroyed, and the Kerait people became subordinate to the Mongol Empire.

11世紀から13世紀初めにかけて、外モンゴルのオルホン川、トーラ川流域を占めたモンゴル系遊牧民族。漢字では克烈と記す。西隣のトルコ文化の影響を受け、その支配者層はネストリウス派キリスト教を信奉した。12世紀の後半に、その国王のトグルルはワン・ハンと称し、当時、勃興(ぼっこう)したチンギス・ハンと対立して攻められ、1203年に殺されてケレイト王国は滅び、ケレイト人はモンゴル帝国に従属した。
