How can we count number of custom labels available in Apex class in Salesforce? Do we have any query for this ?

Metadata API with the following solution.
Login to Workbench.
Go to 'Migration | Retrieve'
- Upload package.xml below
- Unzip output and count number of labels by
<fullname>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<types>
<members>*</members>
<name>CustomLabel</name>
</types>
<version>37.0</version>
</Package>
To do that in Apex, you may get more details in the shared link. By deploying to your org, there's a demo page that does so.

@oookkk, updated answer with my own testing above, you may refer shared the referenced solution.– EugeneOCommented Jan 5, 2017 at 13:44
You can use Metadata API. Take a look at Andrew Fawcett's Apex Wrapper Salesforce Metadata API.
With the API you can query the CustomLabels metadata type to get the information you are looking for.
Easiest way is probably Workbench>Info>Metadata Types & Components>CustomLabel and check the number

You should start by putting that info in your question. Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 10:27
