Oral tests in European subjects (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

czechs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european subjects' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'oral tests' is the wordplay.
'oral' shows a homophone (sound like) (how it sounds when spoken).
'tests' becomes 'checks' ('check' can be a synonym of 'test').
'checks' is a homophone of 'CZECHS'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for czechs that I've seen before include "Slavs" , "Nationality of citizens of Prague" , "Citizens of a republic" , "Eg, Prague natives" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
