Speech is a free action that can be done as much as one wants to, though DMs usually restrict dialog mid-combat to something pretty short (realistically, how much can one say in 6 seconds?). I completely agree with the idea that it should be one-on-one at any given time, but I do not see why this should mean that a short message (less than 2 or 3 seconds long) could not be relayed to one or two other PCs in that same round.

This brings up an interesting point as well. Our minds can process information fairly quickly right? There's probably a delay when our brain has to transmit to our mouths then through the air then the message has to be decoded by the receiver and transmitted to their brain, if someone can transmit the message directly into another creatures brain (in its language) would that actually allow for more "talking" than true speech?
