Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 13:1 Go To 1 Corinthians 13
Severian of Gabala

The tongues of angels refer to the different languages spoken on earth since the destruction of the tower of Babel. As Moses says in Deuteronomy [:]: “God has set the boundaries of the nations according to the number of angels.” It is therefore the task of each angel to defend the distinction of nations. The tongues of men on the other hand are languages which we learn; they do not come to us naturally. .
