Tongues is a sign against those who refuse to hear the word of God (prophecy)making it to no effect through a oral tradition of men.
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
In effect God is mocking the unbelieving Jew with stammering lips he mocks them who refuse to hear. Rather than speaking in one tongue as Hebrew at Pentecost Peter spoke his normal dialect and God opened up the understanding of His word to all the languages of the world.
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.Isaiah 28:11-14
Tongues is not a sign to those who belive prophecy but is against them that do rebell.
Wherefore tongues "are for a sign", not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.1 Corinthians 14:22

22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? 24 But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, 25 as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”
