I know and I should have none someone would take offense. I lumped it in the Latin section purely because it is part of the tradition like the Latin, but I know it isn't Latin.

No offense taken. Actually I thought it was a little funny because it reminded me of a story about a Russian who came to a Greek Church when the bishop was presiding. In that type of Liturgy there is a special short chant for the bishop, in Greek naturally. The same chant, in Greek, is done in Russian Churches for their bishops. After the liturgy the Russian told one of the Greeks how much he enjoyed the liturgy and complimented him on how well they had pronounced the little bit of Russian he had heard in the Liturgy. The Greek asked what Russian and he replied with the bishop's chant in perfect Greek!
