Speech is also dependent on hearing ability so need to check that too by ENT doctor. 
Reduce screen time, encourage conversations , recite play time and bed time stories to your baby. Improve interaction avoid tv avoid smartphones to baby. 
Incase all such tricks do not prove successful then should not delay help seeking and should see a pediatrician and speech therapist soon.

Try not to worry if your toddler isn't talking much at 18 months. The age at which children learn to talk can vary widely. ... Ideally, by 18 months, your child should know between six and 20 words, and understand many more. If your little one can say fewer than six words, speak to your health visitor or GP for advice.
