Information
has gloss	eng: Yelü Diela (耶律迭剌), younger brother of Khitan Emperor Yelü Abaoji, in ca. 925 invented the "Small Khitan script" to accommodate the more agglutinative Khitan language — based partly on the earlier "Large Khitan Script" or Chinese-like logographic writing, but also after having been inspired by the vertically written Old Uyghur alphabet that was shown to him by an ambassador.

has gloss	zho: 遼太祖耶律阿保機的弟弟耶律迭剌相傳是契丹小字的發明者，對契丹文字記錄的普及起過莫大的貢獻。據說他在920年代某日因為看到回鶻的使者攜來的察合台文字書信，想到用近似的方式來書寫契丹語，從而把契丹大字改良成為契丹小字。
