As long as they make sounds (need not be meaningful words) and say 2 or 3 meaningful words like mamma paapa baby etc it is fine. Pointing things and asking for it is an important milestone as well. While they point and ask for it and when you are giving it to them tell its name and then give. Keep repeating few simple words like bus baby bum beep ball car etc so that they will try to repeat
my LO only started well after 3yos, coming to 5yos but super chatty now
