If I had to pick one, the best option would be the precentral gyrus. However, it's important to note that the areas more specifically associated with language formation are primarily Broca's area, located in the left frontal lobe (which is near the precentral gyrus) and Wernicke's area in the left temporal lobe. The precentral gyrus itself is primarily involved in motor control, but it is closely related to the functions surrounding speech production.
