According to NewSpring Church, speaking in tongues is when an individual speaks a language that he or she does not know. These tongues can include human languages with which the speaker is unfamiliar (Acts 2:8-11) or non-human, holy languages with which no person is familiar (1 Corinthians 14:2).

What does the Bible say about speaking in tongues?

According to MitEdu, the Bible says that anyone who speaks in a language that no one else understands is not speaking to people but to God.

No one understands what they are saying because they are speaking mysteries with their spirit. But anyone who prophesies speaks to people to strengthen, encourage, and comfort them.

When someone speaks in a language that no one else understands, they are only helping themselves. But when someone prophesies, they are helping the church.
