One definition used by linguists is the fluid vocalizing of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehended meaning. In some cases,as part of religious practice,some believe it to be a divine language unknown to the speaker. Glossolalia is practiced in Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity,as well as in other religions.
