I don't believe I am getting them mixed up.
Acts 2:4 (other tongues) and I Cor 14:2;4;13;14;19 and 27 (unknown tongues) use the same Greek definition -
G1100
γλῶσσα
glōssa
gloce'-sah
Of uncertain affinity; the tongue; by implication a language (specifically one naturally unacquired): - tongue.
It would be the same interchangeability as using Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost - same difference.

of uncertain affinity; (an-, the) other or different :- altered, else, next (day), one, (an-) other, some, strange.
And we know Other Tongues is Foreign Languages, because the Jews, that were there from different countries, understood what was being said.
In 1 Cor.14, the word
Unknown was added by the translators. But you can see the reason why, the language is Unknown. But Paul uses the word, “
divers tongues” and one of the meanings is “
diversity” and the scripture clearly tells us, that, “
no man can understand him” speaking of Unknown Tongues. That is why that God also gave the Gift of Interpretation. And Paul says, if you have the Gift of Unknown Tongues, pray for the Gift of Interpretation.
The word for divers----
