"that the language centers weren't very active"
I guess the most interesting question here is if the motoric language centre was more or less active than usual. All produced sounds have their roots in that motoric centre, speech sounds have more complex representations in that area, other non-language related sounds are more simple in representation.
It would be nice if they had found something about intonation of "speaking in tongues" because you learn the intonation of your mother tongue in the first 10 weeks after your birth. If the intonation differs it would be a more solid indicator that a different brain area is involved.
