The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- One definition used by linguists is the fluid vocalisation of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehensible 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.
