Talk:do you speak English

...the language I'm speaking
The phrase "...the language I'm speaking" is incorrect to include in the definition, as one may be inquiring about a language other than the one s/he is speaking. For example, saying (in English): "Do you speak Chinese?" when the language the asker is speaking is clearly not Chinese. 24.29.228.33 18:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, it depends on what was intended. In this case, the article was created with the intention of asking if you speak the language that I am speaking: do you speak English, 你会说国语吗, parlez-vous français, and so on. And that is how most of the translations are rendered (the Dutch and Indonesian need to be completed). —Stephen 19:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Good idea, crappy title, badly executed. Maybe do you speak... would be better. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:13, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree that this is badly executed, I don't think it's more than a little bit worse than anything else. How about do you speak (something) or do you speak (language)? Mglovesfun (talk) 11:17, 14 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Originally this was named do you speak...?. Of course, the question mark is not needed and should not be used there. —Stephen (Talk) 11:33, 14 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I moved it to do you speak. It's fine like that. --Zo3rWer (talk) 15:04, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
