will 12 month baby speak meaningful words? mine says akka and acha. though it has a meaning, I am sure he does not understand the meaning of it.

A. Baby can start to say monosyllables like ma, da at 6 -7 months of age. And Bisyllables like mama, dada, at 9-10 months of age Baby start to say 2 words at 12-14 months of age And jargon speech come at 15 -16 months of age. Baby can speak simple sentences of 2-3 words at 20-24 months of age. Some babys achieve these at early and some may be delay in achieving that. No need to worry for that.
