Why this word is great
GLOSSOLALIST — [Noun] A person who exhibits glossolalia; one who speaks in tongues, especially as a religious practice. From glossolalia, from the Greek glōssa ("tongue, language") + lalia ("talk, prattle, a speaking"), plus the agent suffix -ist ("one who does or practices"). Unlike a polyglot, who navigates the charted waters of human tongues, or an orator, who wields words as tools of persuasion, the glossolalist surrenders to a private, ecstatic grammar of pure sound. It is the throat working as a conduit, the fervent cadence of a prayer woven from phonemes without dictionary, the rhythmic exhalation of syllables like polished stones—a fluent testament that the deepest truths are, finally, untranslatable.
