Is there a standard/averag... age for Asian that a child starts speaking?


I 've got two sons.
One is 4 yrs.old who just started his sentences a few months ago.Possibly might start speech therapy soon?
One will be two yrs.old by August and just repeat papa/mama when he heard us.Simply just repeats a word randomly.
We actually moved here in Switzerland 8 mos ago from Britain.
In Britain my first son had been seen by specialists and the diagnosis is normal.Whilst here in Switzerland ,they recommended speech therapy and even started psychomotor therapy a week ago.Actually he is bilingual( English& Italian).
Anyway,the main reason I asked the question above is that I've just met my neighbor's grandson who is the same age of my second son and can speak fluently.Moreover ,answered his name and age appropriately

Answers:
I have a nephew who was still two years old and he can speak fluently. I also have a cousin who is 3 yrs. old and had just started speaking. They both speak three languages(English, Chinese, and Tagalog).

According to what I have observed, talking to your children all the time helps. Avoid baby talks like "dahdah, ohohoh, dudada, etc.." Baby talks will confuse them and not be able to distinguish which words are real and which aren't.

Start with simple short words. At least 2-3 words a sentence. Everywhere you go, try to point out the name of the things around you. And soon, he will try to construct words into sentences on his own.

well I live in California, USA and my son is 17 months old and is only saying mama and Dada ,and my dad is going to start speech therapy next months. so I think its different because of the different Countries
