I have a Bible that was printed in 1880. It is so different from anything that I have read, heard, seen, etc. It has created a lot of questions. Thanks.

Go to the title, copyright etc. page. Anything about what version it is? There may even be something saying what text it was translated from. That info would help.

As for who originally spoke in tongues; if you are referring to the account in Acts, it was the crowds gathered to the apostles:

Acts 10: 45-46 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.

[Starman]

I would just like to add that the toungues spoken in were actual languages.
The purpose was that people who heard these languages would benefit from the what was being said.


Acts 2
4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

8And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

11Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
