I have a friend that experienced the gift of tongues once, and unlike the common charismatic theme of 'speaking out in faith' but not knowing what you were saying, he remembers specifically meaning to say something, thinking it in his head in English, but having it come out as some other language. To make sure it was authentic, he said the same thing over about three times and all three times it came out the same in whatever language God had empowered him to speak in. He tells me that he doesn't know what language it was, however, but it was definitely a language with consistent syntax and grammar.

Was the language in which your friend spoke understood by anyone around them?

He wasn't sure. I asked, but there were a lot of people there. Although, there were quite a few from overseas so it is a distinct possibility.
