Locality is also expressed in regional terms of churchly jurisdiction, which is often also drawn along national lines. Many Orthodox churches adopt a national title (e.g. [[Orthodox Autocephalous Church of Albania|Albanian Orthodox]], [[Bulgarian Orthodox Church|Bulgarian Orthodox]], [[Georgian Orthodox Church|Georgian Orthodox]], [[Greek Orthodox Church|Greek Orthodox]], [[Romanian Orthodox Church|Romanian Orthodox]], [[Russian Orthodox Church|Russian Orthodox]], [[Serbian Orthodox Church|Serbian Orthodox]], [[Orthodox Church of Ukraine|Ukrainian Orthodox]], etc.) and this title can identify which language is used in services, which bishops preside, and which of the typica is followed by specific [[wikt:congregation|congregations]]. In the Middle East, Orthodox Christians are usually referred to as ''[[Rum (endonym)|Rum]]'' ("Roman") Orthodox, because of their historical connection with the [[Byzantine Empire|Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire]].{{sfn|Binns|2002|p=3}}
