I think that if the language is spoken at one point but is not spoken now would be fine, but the case of a language being (for example) latin or Greek there would need to be a spiritualy endowed translator, that also must adhere to the same rules that the speaker adhears to.
In the case of snake handlers, they are testing God and it says implicitly in the bible NOT to test God, If they are testing THEIR faith in God then i can think of quite a few better (more sane) ways of testing ones faith.
But as for me, I know the standing of my faith in God and i don't need a snake to reinforce my faith.
