Tongues was not limited here, as the "gift of tongues" would be (see 1Co 12). Here everyone that believed received the Holy Spirit, and as a sign, spoke in other tongues. Paul talks about speaking in the "tongues of men and of angels" but clearly here, those that spoke in tongues ware clearly a sign to, and understood by, the non-believing Jews that were present.

In the greek we have the word....ὀπτάνομαι, ὄπτομαι optanomai optomai op-tan'-om-ahee, op'-tom-ahee....which means....
