A 15-month-old typically has an active vocabulary of 3 to 10 words on average. However, this is a wide range; some children at 15 months use only 1–2 words while others use over 20. What matters more than the number is the developmental trend: making new sounds, communicating with gestures (like pointing or shaking their head), and understanding simple instructions (like 'get the ball'). If your child isn't speaking any words, isn't imitating sounds, or isn't trying to imitate you, it's worth checking with your pediatrician.
