Hello, being Greek and having studied this issue quite a lot I can affirm the meaning of Strong's 1100. glóssa. This word in my native tongue in Koine' (common) Greek is referring to foreign languages and not some kind of mystical gibberish which does not come from God. Here's some other references visitors may find helpful: glóssa: the tongue, a language Original Word: γλῶσσα, ης, ἡ Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: glóssa Phonetic Spelling: (gloce-sah') Short Definition: the tongue, a language, nation Definition: the tongue, a language, a nation (usually distinguished by their speech). HELPS 1100 glṓssa – tongue, used of flowing speech; (figuratively) speaking, inspired by God, like the evidence of tongues-speaking supplied by the Lord in the book of Acts to demonstrate the arrival of the new age of the covenant (i.e. NT times). [The normative experience of the 120 believers received "tongues (1100 /glṓssa) as of fire" (Ac 2:3) and miraculously spoke in other actual languages, i.e. that they could not speak before (Ac 2:4f). Paul is saying an interpreter is to be present for these "tongues" being spoken to be of benefit to hearers 1 Cor. 14:26-28.
