Literally, "speaking in tongues." St. Paul uses the term to describe not an emotional experience but a spiritual gift (1 Cor. 12:10), though not one of the higher gifts (1 Cor. 14:1-5). At Pentecost the gift was given to allow those present to hear the gospel in their native language (Acts 2:6); in Corinth, the gift is an ecstatic utterance (1 Cor. 14:2). The Apostle warns against too much emphasis on this experience, urging instead that believers seek to manifest love (1 Cor. 13:1) and communicate the gospel intelligibly (1 Cor. 14:19). Glossolalia has never played a significant role in historic Orthodox spirituality. See 1 Cor. 12—14.

(Greek) Speaking in an unknown tongue or heavenly language; gibberish
( Greek, glossa, tongue + laleo), to prattle, chatter, babble; of birds, to twitter, chirp) ecstatic vocalization of unintelligible speech-like sounds, viewed by some as a sign of deep religious experience, especially in various religious groups laying great stress on religious excitation and emotional fervor. This is what happened at Corinth (I Corinthians, Chapter 14). Glossalalia can be produced by almost any intense emotion, dreams, drugs, drunkenness, high fever, hypnosis, hysteria, insanity, mind-control, or spirits. It is not testable; therefore people can consciously or unconsciously fake such sounds. (See xenoglossy)
