Speaking in tongues, also called "glossolalia" describes the utterance of what appears, depending on the listener and the context, either as an unknown foreign language (xenoglossia), as meaningless syllables, or as an unknown mystical language. Speaking in tongues is described in the New Testament, initially in the book of Acts where "tongues of fire" descended on the heads of the apostles accompanied by the occurrence of speaking in foreign languages unknown by them to proclaim the gospel. Today, some Christians speak in tongues, particularly in charismatic congregations and Pentecostal churches.
