'''Glossolalia''' ~~can be described~~ as ~~a state of mind~~ in which a person finds themselves speaking and/or thinking in nonsensical ~~gibberish~~ which is structured in a manner that ~~makes it sound as if it is a genuine~~ language. This is often defined by linguists as a fluid vocalizing of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehended meaning.

* '''Type A (Calm)''': Occurs in private, mundane settings. Context-dependent with the person self-aware while ‘speaking’ i.e. they can attend to other claims on attention. Appears frequently (daily or several times weekly).

Glossolalia is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[language suppression]] and [[delirium]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] compounds, such as [[psychedelic|psychedelics]], [[deliriant|deliriants]] and [[dissociative|dissociatives]].
