How do you write English in English can be a strange but also logical question, because when learning a language it would be best to know how to write it in the respective language, even if the question sounds redundant and somewhat far-fetched.
When we express ourselves with the term English in the Spanish language, we may be referring to an adjective when we are talking about someone from England or to a noun when we refer to the language that is Germanic and is spoken in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia mainly.
In both British and American English, the answer to the question is English, there are things to keep in mind when you write this word, the main thing is that whenever you write it, it must start with a capital letter: English, the people we speak Spanish we are not used to it.
English is a language that has a Germanic origin, it was born in England and spread quite quickly to Scotland and all its surroundings. In the golden age, England was a great power all over the world and brought the language to the United States, mainly to the areas they conquered.
English has two main variants that are the English that we call British and American, we can find differences mainly in pronunciation, but also in spelling and vocabulary.
Today English is spoken by more than sixty-five million people, since this language is spoken almost everywhere since it is a fairly important language worldwide, the speakers may be because it is their mother tongue or because it is the second language.
the capital letter
Contrary to the Spanish language, which begins with a lowercase letter, the letter with which any nationality begins, whether in American or British English, will always be capitalized. Examples: Armenian, American, Mongolian, Russian.
If with English we are going to refer to a person born in England, there are other terms among which we find: Pommy, Englishman and Sassenach.

The question to know if someone speaks English will be do you speak English?, What translates do you speak English?, or could it also be Can you speak English? Which translates can you speak English?, if you want to ask if something is spoken, it would be do you speak any English.
