If i get a tongue piercing, will my speech patterns change?

Probably not: For the long term, probably not, but it will be temporarily changed. Be careful with tongue piercings, as these increase your risk for cracking or fracturing your teeth.

It might. : Tongue piercing is irritating. Irritation causes excess salivation. This may resolve with time or it may continue until you have the jewelry removed, no way to tell. Also be very careful about making sure you do not bite down on your new ornament. Many people have fractured teeth accidently. Both of these possibilities could change your speech patterns.
