This bootstrap condition is a little off. You got it really close!

SpeakLang.lFirstSpch is a tag and you can simply check for the presence or absence of the tag without adding any = 0 stuff. To check for 'no tag' you use ! in front of the tag name:

fieldval:gIsEquip <> 0 & !SpeakLang.lFirstSpch

If you really wanted to use the = 0 logic you would need to "count" the tags to see if you have none. This is also great for if you need to count class levels:

fieldval:gIsEquip <> 0 & count:SpeakLang.lFirstSpch = 0

Now then the next issue is timing. I just ran some tests to see when the tag becomes live on the hero. I used the following script to test up to Pre-Levels/9999:

debug hero.tagis[SpeakLang.lFirstSpch]

Unfortunately it appears that the tag does not get on to the hero until Pre-Levels/10001. This means you can't use this tag in the bootstrap logic.

Going to have to do a little bit of a work around to get this to work as you will have to "manually" check for the existence of the language yourself.
First/400:

~ If language found set abValue5 to 1 so we can check in the bootstrap
If (hero.childlives[lFirstSpch] = 1) Then
  field[abValue5].value = 1
Endif

Then change the Bootstrap logic to be this at First/500:

fieldval:gIsEquip <> 0 & fieldval:abValue5 <> 0

Now you get to know if the language is live or not by First/500. I used abValue5 as its not often used and makes things easy for checking a simple value on our self.

Hope that helps.
