This is very interesting, the stages of Language Acquisition for your reference.....
STAGES OF LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
• Learning in the womb: Hearing prosody in the womb (stress patterns of a language.)
• Soundless communication (begins 0-3 months): using body language, eye contact and other non-verbal forms to communicate.
• Cooing (2-6 months): producing vowel-like sounds.
• Babbling (6-12 months): experimenting making sounds of language, but sounds are indistinguishable as real words and lack meaning.
• Holophrastic (11-18 months): producing small number of isolated, single words.
• Telegraphic (1 ½ - 2 ½ years old): making two word utterances, often highly abbreviated.
• Multi-word (2 ½ years onward): utterance length increases, growing use of grammatical morphemes.
