Khitan people
The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty erroneously identified the Khitan people and their language with the Solons, leading him to use the Solon language to "correct" Chinese character transcriptions of Khitan names in the "History of Liao" in his "Imperial Liao-Jin-Yuan Three Histories National Language Explanation" (欽定遼金元三史國語解) project.
