17 Month Old Isn't Talking

Hi, My 17 month old isn't talking much. She does say hi, momma, bye bye, off and on says other things, like all done, all fall done (tries) etc. So it's not so much that she's not working on the talking, but when you ask her things like high 5, or show me your mouth(body part identification)she doesn't do it. She knows how, or did in the past. Is this normal? I know that she is probably verbally delayed becuse she did not hear English for the first 5 months of her life, but I'm more puzzled about the not doing what you ask, high 5 etc.
