"Do you speak Italian?" and "You speak Italian!" are English equivalents of the Italian phrase Parli italiano. Context makes clear whether the second person informal singular present indicative verb and masculine singular adjective/noun/pronoun serve as a question (case 1) or statement (example 2). Regardless of meaning or use, the pronunciation will be "PAR-lee EE-ta-LYA-no" in Italian even though the intonation will be rising in the first instance and flat in the second.
