No, modern tongues-speech is not rational language. See some of the Torah commentaries on this verse to get a better insight. From one such commentary - See the first answer and discussion given here: https://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/18649/isaiah-2810-precepts-or-gibberish

Yep, some amazing Cape Breton fiddlers who have given Celtic music a unique twist!

I am very familiar with Celtic beliefs and traditions. I even know a few modern Druids, but I'm not one of them. Being an amateur folk musician with a concentration on Celtic traditional music however, I can relate to the Awen as a 'bardic muse', though it's more of a Druid concept.

Nova Scotia has a very cool Scots Gaelic tradition! I have strong ancestral ties to 'Acadia' (as it was called before the English/Scots got there). Some of my ancestors were the among the first Governors of French Acadia. Mi'kmaq is also prevalent there, but not as much as in the past.

Ya, un tammig - but I can read it much better than I can speak it unfortunately. I'm more familiar with Gaelic and Welsh. English, Polish and French (Québécois) were the languages at home growing up. My concentrations in Linguistics are mainly historical linguistics and phonology, but I'm...

They do admittedly speak to my Celtic roots - though primarily Breton, and there are plenty of standing stones in Breizh, but not as cool as Callanish :)

Thanks for proofing my comment

Because I think they're pretty cool.

It always amazes me how quick people are to jump to conclusions about someone based solely on the fact that said person does not agree with their beliefs 100%. If someone does not fit into your box of beliefs, they are instantly branded. Kind of sad, actually. To touch briefly on your...

No - he's saying 'language-like', and exactly right in that it's not going to sound like the speaker's native language.

First, I'm not trying to deceive anyone. Modern tongues-speech is what it is; non-cognitive non-language utterance. With respect to discernment when it comes to tongues; I do not hold that it's anything divine/demonic in origin; it's an entirely self-created phenomenon - for me, there isn't...

You'll need to give a more definite link, but again, he concludes "language-like".

So, essentially there is a lot of debate even amongst tongues-speakers as to what's legit and what's not. That seems to be the gist of what you're getting at (?).

I'm familiar with many of these, particularly Samarin and Goodman. I think you're misreading something - nowhere do either advocate that modern tongues-speech is actual language, nor have I ever heard of any other linguist who does. "Language-like" is the usual moniker attached to...

It would take too long to get into in detail, but his person does not have a good grasp of some basic linguistic theory; particularly phonetics. Given the construction of glossolalia (it's syllable structure, phonemic make-up, etc.), and the fact that most speakers will use a subset of the...

Thanks for the insight. I agree with most of it. Here's the thing with "interpretation" - Interpretations are typically characterized by being inordinately longer than the actual glossic utterance, rather generic and non-specific in nature, and perhaps not surprisingly, open to multiple...

Really? What is this person's name, may I ask. There is no linguist in the world worth his/her salt that is going to call modern tongues-speech 'language'; human or otherwise. You're free to choose to believe whatever you wish.

Then there are myriad of insincere people including pastors out there! In you're opinion, it's something sacred and not to be shared via media. Okay, that's one opinion. and I thank you for that. Curious to see what others say.

Again, no clue what you're getting at - I believe I've already stated I am a linguist and I assure you nothing has been "made up".

So, here are three links to random tongues videos pulled off of YT - curious if any of these would be considered, in you the reader's opinion, as legit 'tongues' - if so why? If not, why not? What makes them legit, what makes them not legit?? Does it boil down to a matter of personal opinion...
