How many words should an 18 month old be able to say?

Language development picked up rapidly once your baby past the age of one. By 18 months, toddlers could be expected to form two-word sentences, such as “want ball”, “close door”, “mummy carry” etc. It is likely that they could say 10 or more words when asked, able to recognize, point to and say most body parts, pieces of clothing, familiar people, places and things. Still, children develop at different pace. Some may be just starting to say their first word at this age, while others may be putting two words together.
