This change allows tongue based speech modifications to be ignored if the user is speaking in a native language or using hand signs, putting it back to where it was functionally before moving to speechmod components.
Why It's Good For The Game
This is correcting some of the speaking code to how it was working prior to speechmods, meaning lizard people won't be elongating there s's in draconic. Fly people are the other species with a tongue based speech modifier and receive the same fix. This also corrects tongue based speech mods getting applied to sign language. Speech modifiers are still applied if the user is talking in a non-native language, same as it was pre speechmod.
