The Rites of the Catholic Church

The Catholic Church has grown with time and branched out into many distinctive rites. A Rite is a type of catholicism that has specific expressions and modes of worship based on the local culture. Rites are not protestant. They are not a different denomination of Christianity but rather they are the Catholic Church's way of adapting to specific cultures. They all share Catholic beliefs but they have different ways of celebrating those beliefs. They are loyal to the Catholic Church centered in the Vatican.
There are 21 different Rites within the Catholic Church. These Rites compose 7 basic origins, with closely located regions falling into the same Rite.
The largest Rite is the Roman Catholic Church, who's primary language is Latin.
The Alexandrian Rite, sometimes called the Coptic Rite, originated in Egypt and includes the Ethopian Rite. Its liturgical languages are Coptic, Arabic, and Ge'ez.
The Antiochene Rite, named after Antioch, developed under the influence of the Church of Jerusalem. Within this group is also Syro-Malankara, Maronite, and Syrian Catholics. Its liturgical languages are Syriac and Arabic.

The Armenian Rite uses Armenian as its liturgical language and has no Rites closely associated with it.
The Byzantine Rite is perhaps the most encompassing because it contains Albanian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Greek, Greek-Melkite, Hungarian, Italo-Albanian, Romanian, Russian, Ruthenian, Slovak, and Ukrainian Churches coming from it. It originated from Constantinople(Byzantium).
The Last Rite, the Chaldean contains the Chaldean and Malabar Churches and is concentrated in India and the Middle East. Its liturgical languages are classical Syriac, Arabic, and Malayalam.
