For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:26 - NKJV.
Tongues are "groanings which cannot be uttered". They go beyond the range of human vocabulary to communicate audibly with God the Holy Spirit's intercession for us. A tongue is an operation of the Holy Spirit.
How often do you find yourself doing your best to pray in your own words but you're soon sensing inside yourself that your prayer isn't reaching the mark where it can truly bring about change? Unlike us the Holy Spirit knows exactly how to reach the mark where change for good can be effected. This is why we need the Spirit's intercession. The Holy Spirit by tongues makes intercession for us according to the will of God. Tongues wonderfully enable us to communicate with God the exact need or action required in any situation.
