No, He simply allowed the 'original' tongue that all... peoples once spoke prior to the tower of Babel event, to go forth.
Gen 11:1
11 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
KJV
That is why everyone present understood it. The idea of it being 'cloven' means when it went out, it was divided... into the various languages of the multitude present. It had nothing to do with gibberish, as everyone understood in their own language. And that is what is meant that God knows how we speak and hear.

Cloven tongues was explained if one reads on.
Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
Nah, that's just an idea you've been taught by preachers who claim speaking gibberish is the real cloven tongue of Pentecost. And I've even heard their blasphemy of saying that those who don't speak 'their' idea of the cloven tongue are not saved in Christ.
This is why praying in tongues or assuming tongues for private use is not of Him at all. It makes those who do not pray in tongues as if God does not care about them to have the Holy Spirit in them to pray for them. It is no wonder why some will doubt they have the Holy Spirit at all.
Yet we all do for coming to & believing in Jesus Christ for why there is only one baptism with the Holy Ghost and that was at the calling of the gospel when we had first believed for why there is no other baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues or for any other gift..
1 Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments,
diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing?
do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
Those who doubt because they do not have tongues for private use;
Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
