The primary event of talking in tongues happened upon the arrival of Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4. The witnesses went out and imparted the gospel to the group, addressing them in their particular dialects: "We hear them announcing the marvels of God in our tongues!" (Acts 2:11). The Greek word deciphered tongues truly signifies "dialects." Therefore, the endowment of tongues is talking in a dialect a man does not know with a specific end goal to priest to somebody who speaks that dialect. In 1 Corinthians sections, 12– 14, Paul examines extraordinary endowments, saying, "Now, siblings, if I come to you and talk in tongues, what cooperative attitude I am to you unless I present to you some disclosure or learning or prediction or expression of guideline?" (1 Corinthians 14:6).

As indicated by the witness Paul, and in concurrence with the tongues depicted in Acts, talking in tongues is profitable to the one hearing God's message in his or her dialect, however, it is pointless to every other person unless it is deciphered/interpreted.
