The Eastern/Oriental Orthodox churches have imo as much right as the Byzantine Orthodox churches to cal themselves orthodox. They are some of the oldest Christian churches.
Oriental orthodox churches:
(Jakobite) Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch Coptic Orthodox Church (of Alexandria) Armenian Apostolic (Orthodox) Church Malankara Orthodox (Syrian) Church Ethopian Orthodox Church Eritrean Orthodox Church
The situation is esepcially very messy and complicated in India (Malankara Church), the comunity is divided among as many as 10 main churches. It used to be a part of the (Assyrian) Church of the East. When the Portugese arrived, they more or less forced Latin rite and communion with Rome on them. Some didn't like that and they split, with the help of the Syriac Orthodox church. Some later split away from that group again to form the independant Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church. The Eritrean Orthodox Church was created in the 90's when Eritrea became independant.
There excist also Greek-Orthodox churches of Alexandria and Antiochia, these are the parts of the churches that accepted the council of Chalkedonia.
