Gibberish is a generic term in English for talking that sounds like speech, but has no actual meaning (such as "the mave's rint ist slanpehed up uthep yongrish").

Gibberish is talking rapdily and incoherently in any language. The most common place this to happen is in the Khasrismatic churches. People claim this to be the manifestation of the Holy Spirit just as it happened during the time of the early church as recorded in the Bible. But if we read the Bible closely we will find that the manifestation during the time of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the early church was not gibberish at all, but a miracle admitted by all who witnessed it. In Acts 2:5-11
we read: "And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”

That was not Gibberish at all, but a miracle which enabled Galileans who never learned those languages, suddenly heard preaching fluently in at least 16 different languages, and understood quite clearly by the hearers who testified that they were "SPEAKING IN OIUR OWN TONGUES THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD."

I was brought up in a Pentecostal family and my father was a Pentecostal minister until his death, and I have heard many times in their churches the utterance which sounded like:
alamaka samana kasa ra ka laba laba laba, spoken by Indonesian among Indonesian audience but they could not understand a single word of it. I understand 16 languages but and I know those words were not in any of the 16 languages that I know. Then somebody or the same person will make the interpretation like: "Do not be afraid, I am with you. Be faithful unto the end." And then some time later somebody else will utter the same sound or very close to it: "yamanamak asala kama ka laba laba laba." and then it as translated into, "I will show my power among you and will draw many people into this church."
Then they were crying and weeping and dancing with joy.
Now that particular church has been closed down and sold and their members have attended other denomination, or stopped going to church.

So what do we make out of it? The promise of the Holy Spirit by Jesus was in order to lead people into the truth and to understand the teaching of Jesus. So called miracle of gibberish have also been manifested or heard in heathen temples or by people who are in trance or manipulated by withdoctors who definitely are connected or influenced by the spirit of devils.

The apostle Paul in his advice to the people in the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians 6, 9-11, 18, says: 6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? ... 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. ...
18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all; 19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

During my life time I have been teaching people in many countries in about ten different languages or dialects, and have witnessed conversion among those different tribes of people who speak different languages. And I have to agree with the apostle Paul, it is better to be silent than to use gibberish which do not benefit people or make them understand the teaching of the Bible better then if we only use the native languages which they use everyday.
