From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Late talker is a delay in spoken language that usually effects 15% of children by the age of 2 years old[1] .These children are saying less than 50 words by this time and may have been showing signs of delayed language when they were not exhibiting any babbling at 6 months old[2]. Evidence shows a high prevalence if there is a family history of late talkers; occurrence three times more likely in males than females and; higher prevalence in twins, especially identical twins versus fraternal twins [3].
