My nephew, who's now 9, apparently remembers before he could talk. According to him, he could understand everyone, but when he tried to talk only gibberish would come out. He describes how frustrating it was.
I remember some things, but probably from when I was about 3. Only a couple of things, one was finding a large brown snake (one of the most venomous snakes in the world) sleeping under my plastic trike on the veranda. I went and told my mum, she was on the phone at the time. She got a 410 shotgun and shot it, but only grazed it and also blew a hole in the veranda. The other thing was when my sister tossed my plastic trike over a fence and it broke in two.
Can corroborate. I remember understanding language, but only producing fluent gibberish no matter how much I wished to communicate.
