SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:7 Y estaban at�nitos y maravillados, diciendo: He aquí ¿no son galileos todos �stos que hablan?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 2:7 Verse 7. Are not all these-Galileans?] Persons who know no other dialect, save that of their own country. Persons wholly uneducated, and, consequently, naturally ignorant of those languages which they now speak so fluently.
John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 7. And they were all amazed, and marvelled , etc.] They were struck with surprise, they were as it were out of themselves, like persons in an ecstasy, not knowing what could be the cause or meaning of this: saying one to another ; the phrase �one to another�, is left out in the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions, and so it is in the Alexandrian copy: behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans ? rude, unpolished, and unlearned men; who had never been brought up in any school of learning, and had never learned any language but their mother tongue; and that they pronounced with an ill grace, and in a very odd manner; and which made the thing the more astonishing to them. The apostles were inhabitants of Galilee, and so very likely were the greatest part of those that were with them: hence the Christians afterwards, by way of contempt, were called Galilaeans; as they are by Julian the apostate, and others f71 .
Matthew Henry Commentary Verses 5-13 - The difference in languages which arose at Babel, has much hindered the spread of knowledge and religion. The instruments whom the Lord firs employed in spreading the Christian religion, could have made n progress without this gift, which proved that their authority was from God.

Vincent's NT Word Studies 7. Amazed and marvelled (existanto kai eqaumazon). The former word denotes the first overwhelming surprise. The verb is literally to put out of place; hence, out of one's senses. Compare Mark iii. 21: "He is beside himself." The latter word, marvelled, denotes the continuing wonder; meaning to regard with amazement, and with a suggestion of beginning to speculate on the matter.Galilaeans. Not regarded as a sect, for the name was not given to Christians until afterward; but with reference to their nationality. They used a peculiar dialect, which distinguished them from the inhabitants of Judaea. Compare Mark xiv. 70. They were blamed for neglecting the study of their language, and charged with errors in grammar and ridiculous mispronunciations.
2:7 {Were amazed} (existanto). Imperfect middle of existemi, to stand out of themselves, wide-open astonishment. {Marvelled} (eqaumazon). Imperfect active. The wonder grew and grew. {Galileans} (galilaioi). There were few followers of Jesus as yet from Jerusalem. The Galileans spoke a rude Aramaic (#Mr 14:70) and probably crude Greek vernacular also. They were not strong on language and yet these are the very people who now show such remarkable linguistic powers. These people who have come together are all Jews and therefore know Aramaic and the vernacular _Koin�_, but there were various local tongues "wherein we were born" (en hei egenneqemen). An example is the Lycaonian (#Ac 14:11). These Galilean Christians are now heard speaking these various local tongues. The lists in verses #9-11 are not linguistic, but geographical and merely illustrate how widespread the Dispersion (diaspora) of the Jews was as represented on this occasion. Jews were everywhere, these "Jews among the nations" (#Ac 21:21). Page notes four main divisions here: (I) The Eastern or Babylonian, like the Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamians. (2) The Syrian like Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia. (3) The Egyptian like Egypt, Libya, Cyrene. (4) The Roman. {Jews and convert} (proselutoi). These last from prosercomai, to come to, to join, Gentile converts to Judaism (circumcision, baptism, sacrifice). this proselyte baptism was immersion as is shown by I. Abrahams (_Studies in Pharisaism and the Gospels_, p. 38). Many remained uncircumcised and were called convert of the gate.
