Ha ha yeah! I did it, I'm the man! So I read an article about tongues some months ago and it blew me away. It spoke of how you can teach yourself how to speak the holy language. Well I'm here to report that the article is true.

As per the article, you have to switch off the part of your brain that makes you think of your words. At the same time you have to switch on the physical parts that make you actually say the words. You have to focus on not thinking about your words but focus on moving your lips and tongue so you can vocalise. It's kinda fun when you do it in a setting with believers. So start practicing.

Every time I go to the mental ward I start to talking in tongues, no big deal, well for me at least lol.

I can type in tongues!

I want to go to a charismatic church and start insulting them and say obscene shit in Libyan Arabic

That raises an interesting point.
The funny thing about our dear friends, the American puritans, is that they think words have magical meaning that makes them intrinsically bad bad bad, and therefore God gets angry when one says them. The question to me is whether that extends to arbitrary languages. For example, I could invent a language in which "praise the Lord" actually means "jump on Jesus' face and receive a divine blowjob". Would this exclamation, which is perpetually made in all Sunday services, make God angry from that day forth then, and condemn all those congregations to hellfire?

Conversely, if I say terribly blasphemous things in a language no one uses or no one present understands, are they still offensive? What if I just made that language up (after all, all languages are made up)?
For example, I have just invented a language which is very much like English, except that the Phrase "what a beautiful flower!" means to "go bugger the messiah in forbidden places", and vice versa. Can I still say either? Can others?

Theology needs to address these problems quickly, or we may be in for a pleasant day in the park (*)

(*) ="eternal hellfire" in modified English

My thought on Christians who actually do believe they are speaking in tongues ...

if a person can't make any sense in one language, why assume he is making sense in a language no one understands?

Let's do this. You'll speak Libyan Arabic and I'll speak my obscure dialect. They'll be all over the place.

Do the other Italians understand it and how different is it?

Standard Arabic for a sky Is samá'un, in libyan it's sme

We have entire phrases that simply don't exist in standard Italian. If I were to speak it broadly enough, it would start being incomprehensible in a 80 km radius from my hometown.

"Senti solo che profumo" ----------> "S'nd sckjtt u' fjzz dall'addàur"
("Just smell this pleasant aroma")

The eastern word for smell means taste in Tripoli.

My mum tastes goooood
