'Ability' would be more common than 'capability' in this context.

Thank you Philip,
although I don't like 'ability to speak', it sounds somewhat plain to me...
How about these possibilties
1)He start losing his capability of speaking
2)He start to lose his capablilty of speech(?)
3)He start to lose his capability for speaking
4)He start to lose his capability on speaking
The person starts unable to speak with log

Oh thank you Clive, didn't see your post.
I have often heard people say "uncapable of "
would it be good if I say
"He is starting uncapable to speak?" or
"He is start being uncapable to speak?"
or "He is losing his speaking capability" <-- This sounds better right?
Thank you for reply

Thank you for all the replies,
I see, so 'capable' and the likes are not working in this sitsuation.
Last try,
'He is starting to become incapable of speaking'
Is this ok in verbal english?
TY

Hi,
I have often heard people say "uncapable of " It's incapable.
"He is starting uncapable to speak?" No
"He is start being uncapable to speak?" "He is starting to be incapable of speech".
I prefer 'becoming' rather than 'starting
