Do you speak English?

In the Malay language, to ask someone if they speak a language you would say "Boleh cakap English?" or the literal translation is "Can you say/talk English?"

In that case, it would not be wrong if you asked in Malay and be misunderstood as your ability to say or express the word "English"

Therefore...

A: Boleh cakap English?(Can you say/talk English?)

B: Ya. English (Yes. English)
