What language did the eastern orthodox speak?
There is not one specific language used in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The language which should be used in the services depends on which country the Orthodox Church is in, and also on the language spoken by the majority of the people in a congregation. For example, Orthodox Churches in Japan use Japanese for their services, and Orthodox Churches in the USA, Britain and Australia should use English for their services. However, where there is a specific need to accommodate the needs of a particular parish, the language spoken by those parishioners can also be used. The Orthodox Church does not believe that there is such a thing as a 'holy language' or a 'liturgical language' because the Bible states that the language to be used in the church must be one that is understood by the people (I Corinthians 14:19).
