A Made up language

Linguists who have studied the modern glossolalia (speaking in unknowing language) all agree that there is no mystery about the ‘tongues’ language.

The University of Toronto linguistics professor William Samarin wrote this:

There is no mystery about glossolalia. Tape-recorded samples are easy to obtain and to analyze.  They always turn out to be the same thing: strings of syllables, made up of sounds taken from among all those that the speaker knows, put together more or less haphazardly but which nevertheless emerge as word-like and sentence-like units because of realistic, language-like rhythm and melody. Glossolalia is indeed like language in some ways, but this is only because the speaker (unconsciously) wants it to be like language. Yet in spite of the superficial similarities, glossolalia is fundamentally not language. All specimens of glossolalia that have ever been studied have produced no features that would even suggest that they reflect some kind of communicative system. . . . Glossolalia is not a supernatural phenomenon. . . . In fact, anybody can produce glossolalia if he is uninhibited and if he discovers what the “trick” is.
