English is my native language and when I approach a person (who I think speaks Punjabi), I will ask the following question to determine if they can speak English.
Ki tusi Angrezi (boli) bolday ho.
Basically, I am asking do you speak English?
The question is this. Can I include the word "language" with the word "English"?
1) Do you speak English language?
2) Do you speak English?
I prefer to add the word "language" so just in case, they don't understand my pronunciation of "Angrezi", they will definitely recognize "boli" and at least know that I am asking them if they speak some kind of language.
