hi ramya! r u in a multilingual family??u could show him picture books and repeat the same thing everyday till he picks up.. also when u speak with him please be slow, so that he catches some words.. do not give in to gestures , make him speak with simple words. talk a lot with him. if he has been watching gadgets ,make sure u get rid of his this habit at the earliest.

reward him when he speaks with a smiley or a loud clap and a hug. positive reinforcement would play a big role. make him play with agemates, as children learn faster with imitation..
