You can wait if other developmental milestones have been achieved as per age. Take her to a park where she can interact with peers. That helps in early language development.

If rest of the developmental milestones are ok, then u can wait... sometimes language milestones take time...if other milestones also delayed, then visit a local Pediatrician
