A mute won't be required to know how to speak English. A blind person won't be required to know how to read English. A deaf person won't be required to know how to understand English.
A deaf blind mute won't be required to do any of the three.

If they're over 50 years old, they're exempt from the requirement.

There are other exemptions. But generally speaking, "it'll be on the test." It's something they have to learn as part of the process of becoming a citizen. It's not something they have to know when they get to the border.

Except all tests and directions are in English. One of the examinations is an English proficiency exam. There is also a detailed civics exam. Essay answers must be written in English. An applicant has two chances before being denied citizenship.
