I feel the three tags speech (5 Qs), spoken (17 Qs), and speaking (41 Qs) are not meaningfully different, so I think we should merge them (creating suitable synonyms). It seems natural to keep the speaking tag (kind of a "majority rules"), but perhaps oral-chinese or verbal-chinese is more precise.
Any preference as to what the final tag should be called?
