At 2 years few words ,about 20 , understanding of : you ,I ,they should be their and two word sentences, is their .
donot encourage pointing towards things.
You must actively talk and pay more attention to receptive speech like ask him questions ,what color is the ball example like red and not where is the ball .
where ...the answer he will point .
Help him to say like if he says re for red say reeee ddddd, help him patiently
Also most important..... stop mobile and tv

At 2 years age child make sentences with three words plus they have vocabulary of 50 to 100 words .
you can encourage the child to speak words by showing it in nature or with the help of toys or pictured book or showing rhymes.
you have to talk to him in single language only don't use multiple languages even at home .
Next Steps
if at all speech therapist opinion can be taken at 3 years of age earliest if still he has speech difficulty
