Today we will discuss the topic that when children start speaking and when should parents be worried.
Normal Speech and language milestones are as follows:
 |
| /a/,/i/,/u/ at age of 6-7 months |
4-5 MONTHS
Babies start producing vowel-like sounds /a/, /i/, / /u/ besides this /p/, /m/, /b/.
11-12 months
By 12 months of age, babies start speaking their first words ( da-da or ma-ma or pa-pa or bye-bye)
Starts speaking 3 or more words with some consistency.
16-18 months
Consistently starts speaking up to 10 words
Consonants like "T, D, W, N, H' are used frequently
More words are used than gestures. ( tells some body parts, can speak his/her name)
 |
| Child speaking age |
22-24 months
Now the baby can join words and make 2-word or 3-word sentences.
The speaking vocabulary is around 20 words.
27-30 months
Names at least one color correctly.
Starts speaking major body parts, two or more numbers, Some alphabets.
3-4 years

 |
| A child talking at 3 |
4-5 years
Can tell a story using words and gestures both, vocabulary up to 2000 words, write numbers and alphabets.
CONCLUSION
This is a short overview of what and when do babies start speaking. This may vary a little as every child is different and so are there developmental milestones.
But if there is a very huge difference between the normal development chart and your child then you need to immediately consult a SPEECH THERAPIST or an AUDIOLOGIST.
