Perhaps under the "languages" or "special skills" area?

If your refering to the gift of tongues as mentioned in the Bible, it doesn't exist anymore. 1Corinthians 13:8 says, "Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, THEY SHALL CEASE (emphasis added); whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away."
Gotquestions.org says, "At the same time, if the gift of speaking in tongues were active in the church today, it would be performed in agreement with Scripture. It would be a real and intelligible language (1 Corinthians 14:10). It would be for the purpose of communicating God's Word with a person of another language (Acts 2:6-12). It would be in agreement with the command that God gave through the Apostle Paul, "If anyone speaks in a tongue, two — or at the most three — should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God" (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). It would also be in submission to 1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
Listing it would not only show that you do not follow God's Word, but it would seem to the boss that you might be "off your rocker."

Spiritually speaking, it's so we can ask a question that might be on shaky ground as far as Y!A and the report monkeys are concerned. It seems silly, but it usually works. And there are some people who still care about violation notices. I think most of us figure that any given account is on borrowed time if you participate in this Forum often, but there are those who just don't like getting VN's.

Be very careful when listing additional skills on a resume. You never know when an employer will ask you to take a proficiency exam.
Take it from someone who had no business listing PowerPoint on her resume.
However, being bi-lingual is a huge bonus in the business world, so I'd risk it even if you're not fluent.

Maybe in a verble resume.
It is a gift of the Holy Spirit. And it is only given to a Christian if the Christian submits their vocals to the Power of the Holy Spirit. Brain wave studies have proven that little (of the Christians) brain activity goes on when the Holy Spirit speaks through a Christian. As Christians have always said, it isn't them, but the Holy Spirit who moved in them to praise God.

Yes, you can list whatever you want in a resume.
But it probably won't impress your prospective employer unless you are applying for a position in a Pentecostal Church.
That being the case, you will want to inquire immediately if there is an interpretor of tongues in their employ.

I think that's a requirement under the languages section.

You can list anything on a resume. I also work for a Catholic Hospital LOL, so that in fact looks really good on a resume where I work. Do you even know what a resume is?

You can definitely write "fluent in (Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, whatever tongue - or language - you speak).
