Yes, around the fourth century of the common era, the Church declred itself orthodox. Martin Luther, in 1520 broke from the Church and its orthodoxy. Since then protestant Christianity has done away with orthodoxy. Two Churches consider themselves orthodox: The Greek Orthodox and the Russian Orthodox.

What language is orthodox mass spoken in?

Orthodox Christians do not refer to it as mass, but the Divine Liturgy. What language it is performed in depends on the church's ethnicity, though most Orthodox churches in America do it mostly in English. If it is a Greek church, then it is partially in Greek; if Russian, then in Russian; etc. But, like I said, the majority is done in English. In Antiochian Orthodox Churches, the entire liturgy is in English.
