How do you answer this question with a yes or no are English speaking Does the client not speak English?

The question is phrased in a way that makes it difficult to answer with a simple yes or no. Here's why:

* Double Negative: The question uses a double negative ("does not speak"). This makes the meaning unclear.

* Focus on the Client: The question focuses on the client, but the information we need is about the client's language ability.

To answer accurately, you would need to rephrase the question to be more direct:

* Does the client speak English? (Yes/No)

* Is the client's primary language not English? (Yes/No)

Without knowing the client's language ability, it's impossible to give a definitive yes or no answer to the original question.
