Which is correct, should I ask " Do you speak English?" or "Can you speak English ?

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason

If I was asking a stranger if they spoke English I would say "Excuse me, do you speak English." "Can you" means about the same thing, but "do you" seems a little more polite. Either will work.
