- Present "speaking in tongues" tends to repeat the same short syllables over and over again, e.g. "Lala, lala, lala, shama, shama. Jesus, Jesus...". This is not in the syntax associated with any language; when one hears someone speak in a foreign tongue, it is usually possible to discern that they are communicating something by the pattern of words they use, although we may not understand those words.
-"Wanenao kwa lugha" siku hizi wanaelekea kurudia rudia maneno yale yale mafupi zaidi na zaidi tena, k.m. "lala, lala, lala, shama, shama. Yesu, Yesu ……" huu sio mpangilio uliojumuika na maneno ya lugha yoyote; mtu akimsikia mwingine akinena katika lugha ngeni, mara kwa mara inawezekana ya Kuwa wanaongelea jambo fulani kwa mfano mzuri wa matamshi ambao watu hutumia, ingawa hatuwezi kuyaelewa maneno hayo.
