Acts 2 tongues were real human foreign languages — each person heard in their own native language, not a single universal language

Mike reads Acts 2:1-7 directly. The Greek word for tongues (glōssais) means languages. The text says "each one was hearing them speak in his own language" — plural languages, not one. The crowd was from every nation under heaven: Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, Libya, Rome, Crete, Arabia. The Galilean speakers were unlikely to know all these languages.
