Some people feel the difference is:
1. Is there ANYONE here who speaks English? = You really do not know.
2. Is there SOMEONE here who speaks English? = You have reason to believe that there may be a person in the group who speaks English.

Here is another example:
You want to use the bathroom at home, but the door is closed. So you knock on the door and ask:
Is there anyone in there? = You do not know.
Is there someone in there? = You think that there is because you heard some noise.
