There are two areas of vocabulary development-understanding words and then using words. In this post I am only talking about using (producing) the words. Here is a very basic overview of typical vocabulary, based on age. Do not worry too much if your child is a little behind (each child is different) but if they are several months behind I would recommend having your child assessed for a possible language delay.
12 months: 2-3 words
18 months: 50 words
24 months: 200 words
Again, this is just a very basic standard and should be used only as a screen. If you have concerns please see an SLP in your area for a language assessment.
