Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points. NotesWikipedia's article on glossolalia, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication, useful here for linguist William Samarin's 1972 conclusion that Pentecostal glossolalia is only a facade of language, and for the word's own Greek etymology and its scholarly distinction from xenoglossy, neither of which the entity's existing facts, built around cadence, origin and social form, state.
