Two things.... there are two different operations of tongues....

  1) another tonuge ... the earthly language spoken by a new convert
                        as the spirit gives utterance.  It's not a 
                        dialect that they've learned and been schooled
                        in that they could just talk and be comfortable
                        about it.  This tongue is given when one recceives
                        the baptism of the Holy Ghost the initial time.

          In the case of the initial outpouring of the Holy Ghost,
          God was speaking through the 120 to the crowd around about
          them in their own languages.

  2) unknown tongue ... called *tongues* of angels in 1 Cor 14.  A gift
                        of the spirit.  This kind of tongue, if spoken,
                        is unto personal edification *unless* there be 
                        an interpreter.... and then it must be done 
                        properly by course and order ...
 
             1Co 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let  
                       it be by two, or at the most by three, and 
                       that by course; and let one interpret. 
            
Tongues that's operates with understanding to more than one person falls
into the category of *prophecy*.

 1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto 
          men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in 
          the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 
        3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, 
          and exhortation, and comfort. 
        4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but 
          he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
