Yes but because they cannot hear themselves, to correct the mistakes they are making it comes across similar to that of someone with Downs Syndrome speaking to you. So they choose to Sign instead. yes some of us can speak but normally only if, like myself have been born hearing & gone deaf over time but some deaf people can't speak very well because we can't hear how things are pronounced, simple things like 'Beans' has the same lip pattern as 'peas' so unless you can hear it it just guess work.

Answer

The above answers is pretty good but in fact with massive advances in speech therapy over the past couple of decades some people who are born deaf can speak pretty well, though there is always a strange flat tone and they often have great difficult in modulating their volume. They may innadvertantley shout or may whisper out of fear of shouting or embarassment at their speech abilities. Children and younger people who have benefited from improved speech therapy generally have much clearer speech than older deaf people whose attempts at speech are likely to be unintelligible.
Yes, but if they have always been deaf they may not form sounds the same way the hearing population does so their speech will sound different and sometimes is difficult to distinguish some words.

No, a person born deaf can never talk normal. They can make sounds but it is hard to understand. Anyone who thinks they can talk should obviously not be able to talk themselves. Yes, that means you scot, stupid.

Interesting question. Well, if the deaf person wasn't born deaf but developed a disease to cause him/her to become deaf later on in life, then that person would know how to speak from pass knowledge. (^_^)

They can, it is just that, without the help of hearing aids, they may feel insecure and quite shy. However, with some deaf people who wear hearing aids, you can even tell they are deaf because they talk just like a normal person. People who have been deaf since birth will obviously find it very hard to talk because they have never actually heard what words sound like so can't learn them properly, but if they get hearing aids they will usually be able to hear a lot better and so learn how to talk properly quite quickly.

No: If they were born deaf they would not be able to talk because they can't hear the teacher/parent talk so they don't know how. Yes: If they were born with hearing they will be able to talk, they just won;t be able to learn new words. A deaf person can also be taught how to make sounds with their voice box, but the words are not easily understood.

"I'am not sure about this question because some people say that you cant but actually i think you can because deaf people have only lost one of their seses not two. looool" was the original answer to this question. The correct answer is under this:

Of course they can. Just because somebody is deaf (cannot hear) does not mean they are mute (cannot talk). They can talk, but they can not hear anybody talk to them. People must do sign language, write, type, etc. to communicate with them. But yes, they can talk.

Yes, deaf people are physically able to speak vocal language. They are not automatically mute, as some people believe. However, many do not know how to vocalize and/or do not have a need to vocalize.
