@Neil_Vaz
→ "Tu sais parler français" is correct.
◆ connaître + NOUN (or nominal group)
Ex 1a : Je connais son adresse.
Ex 2a : Je connais Maxime.
Ex 3a : Il connaît les règles du football.
◆ savoir + VERB (or verbal group)
Ex 1b : Je sais où il habite.
Ex 2b : Je sais qui est Maxime.
Ex 3b : Il sait (comment) jouer au football.

@morganeferreux on ne dit pas "tu sais parler le français" mais "tu sais parler français".
@Neil_Vaz WE can say "tu connais le français" but it's a little familiar. please read the answer of @Sprin9 which is very detailed ;)

@chevriermarylene ??
"Tu sais parler le français" est naturel, correct et ne pose aucun problème. ;)

@Adrien_FR A la limite c'est argotique mais pour des bases de français, cela ne se dit pas pour moi.
la forme la plus utilisée pour moi reste "tu sais parler français" et pas "tu sais parler le français".

@chevriermarylene Je vous propose de vérifier vos dires sur Google ou dans les dictionnaires. ;)
Dire que "on ne dit pas "tu sais parler le français"" est erroné, "le français" étant d'ailleurs une formulation qui insiste sur le la faculté à savoir parler la langue.
Petit indice :
"1. LINGUISTIQUE
a) Subst. masc. Langue parlée en France et dans certains pays étrangers frontaliers ou de culture française, appartenant au groupe des langues romanes. Apprendre, enseigner, savoir le français; dire, écrire, traduire en français; faute de français. Il comprend le français, mais ne le parle qu'à peine"

"Parler le français" ou "savoir parler le français" n'est pas argotique ou peu utilisé, c'est une formulation naturelle et que l'on retrouve souvent. ;)
