Monkeys don't technically "speak" any language. (While we're getting technical: I'm not sure off the top of my head if there have ever been any language studies done on "monkeys." Apes, yes; monkeys I'm less certain of.)

Several species of great apes (chimpanzees and gorillas for sure) have shown that they can acquire at least a limited understanding of human speech, and a few have been trained to respond using sign language or by pushing buttons on a sort of modified typewriter. Whether this constitutes "language" or not is a subject of some debate.
