Acts 2:4 

...KAI HRXANTO LALEIN hETERAIS GLWSSAIS

...and they began to speak in other tongues

Any idea why modern translations still tend to use the
archaic expression "tongues" rather than "languages"?
Is there any semantic reason for translating this with
"tongues" that "languages" would not equally denote?
