How does this work out?

Actually, Experts could have Speak Language as one of their class skills, so they could theoretically get a language for the bargain price of 1 skill point/language, just like bards.

If you want to split hairs, so could Human Paragons.

If we are allowing Unearthed Arcana, then so could the three Generic Classes.

Any prestige classes or expanded base classes (i.e. from the Complete series, PHBII, DMGII, etc.) that you know of who get Speak Language as a class skill? Or is it just Bards and no one else?

Complete Adventurer:

Scout

Beguiler

Human with the Able Learner feat from Races of Destiny can purchase any skill for 1 sp (doesn't make it a class skill, but there are no ranks for Speak Language anyway).

Hi!

Feel free to use the attachment.

Kind regards

Also, the Changeling race from Eberron consider Speak Language a class skill whatever their class.

Speak Language for Beguilers is particularly nice, as they're INT-based and thus start with a good number of languages known. I recently made a Kenku beguiler for an online campaign who spent 5 skillpoints on Speak Language, and will be starting the game fluent in ten languages. Works very well for his espionage-agent character concept.
