Neither "Greek" nor "Byzantine" are accepted as descriptors within the Eastern Orthodox Church itself, which does not identify its own often divergent forms of worship as a singular rite. The term "rite" was, rather, created to differentiate the practices of Greek Catholic Churches as a distinct liturgical rite within the wider Catholic Church. Despite the name "Greek Rite", it uses a variety of linguistic traditions, most prominently Slavonic and Georgian, in regions where the Greek language has never been used liturgically, despite being historically associated with the Church of Constantinople.
