This question is too broad. There are many different cranial nerves that are responsible for the muscles involved in the ability to speak (tongue, jaw, mouth, etc.) The actual ability to speak originates from your cerebral cortex (Wernicke's area & Broca's areas).

How many nerves are in your eyes?
Each eye has one nerve for vision, the optic nerve, Cranial Nerve II. Nerves are actually bundles of many nerve fibers. There are nerves that supply impulses for the muscles associated with the eyeballs so they can move are the Cranial Nerve III, Oculomotor, Cranial Nerve IV, Trochlear, and Cranial Nerve VI, the Abducens nerve.
What cranial nerve is used when smelling a flower?
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
What Cranial nerve is equilibrium and hearing?
The cranial nerve responsible for hearing and equilibrium is vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It originates from between the pons and medulla.
Another name for auditory nerve?
The auditory nerve is associated with facial nerve. Both of them exits the skull through the internal acoustic meatus. The facial nerve leaves the skull through stylomastoid foramen to go to the face. This nerve is also associated with the sense of hearing and balance.

What cranial nerves are not associated with the brainstem?
The olfactory bulbs [I] and the optic nerve [II]
What is the most important cranial nerve that the anterior parasympathetic fibers are associated with?
vagus
What cranial nerve is used when smelling a flower?
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
What is the Cranial nerve II called?
The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve.
What nerves are involved in diplopia?
The nerves involved in diplopia include three cranial nerves: the oculomotor nerve (third cranial nerve), the abducens nerve (sixth cranial nerve), and the trochlear nerve (fourth cranial nerve).
What is the nerve IV of the cranial nerves?
Cranial nerve 4 (IV) is the trochlear nerve.
What is the name of the thirteenth cranial nerve?
The 13th cranial nerve is often called the Vomeronasal nerve. It is forward of the olfactory nerve, and is thought to be associated with sexual behavior. Interestingly, this nerve is still found in whales, although their olfactory nerve has vanished in the course of evolution. It is also sometimes referred to as Nerve Zero because of its location.
What is the function of cranial nerves?
cranial nerve I: olfactory:smell cranial nerve II:optic:vision cranial nerve III: oculomotor: 4 of 6 eye muscles cranial nerve IV: trochlear: cranial nerve V: Trigeminal cranial nerve VI: Abducens cranial nerve VII: Facial cranial nerve VIII: Vestibulochlear: hearing cranial nerve IX: Grosspharnxgeal: saliva formation cranial nerve X: Vegus cranial nerve XI: Acessory Spinal: trapizious movement cranial nerve XII: Hypoglosseal: toungue movement
What cranial nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information?
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic Nerve
