The people who thought the disciples were drunk were the locals who didn't understood the languages spoken. We know this because Peter addresses them first in his sermon:
Acts 2:14 “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, "
In the Temple Courts the only language that was expected to be heard was the language of the Temple (Hebrew)
And Peter probably preached his sermon in Hebrew.
But the Bible does not say that it was just the LOCALS who thought the disciples were drunk -- locals as well as visitors from at least fifteen areas were there.
Act 2:6
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
Act 2:7
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
How did people know that the disciples were Galileans?
The maid by the fire accused Peter of being a disciple because his "speech gives him away", so it might be because of an accent, I don't know.
Peter preaches his sermon, obviously the sermon is in ONE LANGUAGE, maybe its Hebrew, I don't know. When he concludes his sermon:
Act 2:37
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Obviously the audience UNDERSTOOD Peter's sermon -- so either the "miracle of understand in your own language another language that is spoken" could still be in play here.
One other possibility to keep in mind here is that EVERYONE THERE --
Act 2:5
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
EVERYONE THERE might have been able to speak Hebrew !! They responded to Peter's sermon, right?
It could be that "hearing what was said in their own language" was for a sign to them, they might have been able to understand it if it was preached in Hebrew, but WHAT MORE IMPACT than for the guy from Crete to hear it in the language of Crete!
We DON'T KNOW the purposes of God behind the miraculous 'hearing in their own language' both the praises of God when they thought they were all drunk and the sermon by Peter, which may have been in Hebrew and they knew that as well.
What we know is -- the locals and visitors both heard
(1) the praises of God
AND
(2) the sermon by Peter and UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS SPOKEN,
(1) they heard DEFINITELY IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE; whether they also knew Hebrew or not
If I was from Crete and I was there that day, let's say I am a devout Jew and know Hebrew, what a greater impression on me to hear a Galilean speakin a Cretan language than simply to hear everything in Hebrew. Maybe this whole thing of "hearing in their own language" was a device to show God's POWER; not simply a device by which Parthians and Egyptians could have their attention captivated and subsequently understand Peter's sermon that followed.
And Acts chapter Two is not the only kind of Tongues in the New Testament, as much as Cessationists want to convince people that it is.
