Language developmental delay refers to a condition in which a child's language expression and comprehension abilities are significantly behind those of peers, failing to reach normal developmental milestones. It primarily results in the child being unable to form coherent speech during communication, and being unable to express their thoughts accurately through language. When interacting with others, the child may exhibit disorganized thinking, fail to understand others' speech, or follow instructions properly.
