Some people believe that they are overtaken by a spirit who speaks through them in an unknown language. Basically, it is jibberish, as is the entire concept.

scripture speaks of speaking in tongues however they should only e done in public if there is someone who can translate and they would not happen all at once by lots of people they are used as messages from god
or in the priveat of ones own they can be used in pray to glorify God
anything else is man made and not from \god think aobut it why would god give that many meaasges all at the same time for no one to undersaand and for no purpose

I as a pentecostal believe in speaking in tongues. I haven't been blessed enough to do so yet...
an ecstatic utterance of largely unintelligible speechlike sounds that is viewed, esp. among Pentecostal groups, as a manifestation of profound religious experience; gift of tongues; glossolalia.
You are over taken by the Holy Spirit and have heard that you have this warmth over you. It sounds like gibberish to us, but its not

speeking in unknown tongues is a spiritual gift from God

It's a joke. It means you can talk gibberish-claim you're divinely inspired and no one could prove otherwise. Then again anyone with half a brain knows that speaking in tongues is crap anyway-it's just another religionist delusion.

The latest neuro-physiological research shows alteration occuring in the brain during
"speaking in tongues".
Christians can interpret that in similar fashion as to
what they do when they interpret the bible.
Namely, make it fit
what they wish to believe.

Depends on who you talk to. Catholics worry it could be the devil or an evil spirt taking possession of you. Pentacostals think a good spirt has sort of gotten into you.
