TITLE: Speaking in Tounges
AUTHOR: William Samarin

Dr. Samarin was a Christian missionary and is a linguist.  The book 
appeared in l968 or so.  I am unsure of the title.

He shows that the utterances people produce 
while speaking in tongues are related only to
languages the speakers have already been exposed to.

Since Dr. Samarin is a professional and knows what he
is talking about, he will probably be ignored by the Net.
