People often get confused with the words Speach and Speech because of their similarity in spelling and pronunciation.

The fact is that the English language doesn’t follow the same pattern with spelling of the words. This error usually happens when we pronounce the word incorrectly. 

Speach and Speech are two words in which one is correct and the other is the obsolete or incorrect way of spelling the correct word.

Speach Vs Speech

Meaning of Speach

Speach is an obsolete or incorrect way of spelling the ideal word ‘Speech’. This mistake happens when we write the letter ‘a’ instead of ‘e’ before the letter ‘c’ and this makes the whole word incorrect.

Examples

  • I am a little nervous about my speach which I have to deliver tomorrow. (incorrect)
  • Your speach was amazing as you have passed the clear message to the audience. (incorrect)
  • The event started with a welcome speach for chief guests. (incorrect)
  • Revise your speaches then we will rehearse it one more time. (incorrect)

Meaning of Speech

Speech is the communication or expression of thoughts in spoken words. It could also mean a formal way of addressing an audience. For example, when we share our thoughts on a particular topic on the stage in front of a group of people, that is called a speech.

In a playset, a speech is a sequence of lines of a particular character.

Examples

  • I am preparing a speech on the topic Racism.
  • You have to deliver your speech after the two performances.
  • Can you help me in writing a speech for my school event?
  • I am amazed that your speech was better than hers.

The Final Words

When I wrote the word ‘Speach’ on my laptop it was showing incorrect and should be replaced with ‘Speech’. This happened because the word ‘Speach’ doesn’t exist in the English dictionary. And the correct word is ‘Speech’. The best and easiest way of identifying the correct word is remember that there is a stress of ‘ee’ while pronouncing ‘Speech’ while it is not the same with ‘Speach’ so the correct word is with the stress sound that is “Speech”.

I hope you have got the difference and this article was helpful for you.
