You could call it Glossolia:
Manifestations of uncontrolled laughter is the most
distinguished feature of what has been labeled the
"Toronto Blessing," "the Laughing Revival," and
"Holy Laughter." But laughter is not the only
manifestation. Some participants roll on the floor,
shake, jerk, utter sounds of animals, behave as if
intoxicated, etc.

WH Auden on Glossolalia
Observed: 20.Jan.2007
It is extraordinary that sects of religious enthusiasts,
from the Montanists down to Catholic Apostolics, should
have imagined that to make verbal noises which nobody
could understand was evidence of Divine Inspiration, a
repetition of the miracle of Pentecost. What happened
at Pentecost was exactly the opposite, the miracle of
instantaneous translation everybody could
understand what everybody else was saying.
In his great book Enthusiasm, Father Ronald Knox gives
us two examples of speaking with tongues: Hippo

epoopongos menati and Hey amei hassan alla do hoc
alors lovre has heo massan amor ho ti prov hir aso me
