Incorrect spelling, explanation: a common verb to speak features the -e and -a letters, and probably that’s why some users of English believe that the same happens in the case of the word speech and they misspell it as speach. This form, however, is wrong and the only correct spelling is speech.
Correct spelling, explanation: the word speech comes from the West Germanic language, which means that it could have already been found in Old English. Then, however, the word speech looked like sprǣc or sprēc. The words also entered other European languages, such as Dutch or German, which also influenced the word so that it finally became speech.
