Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The information you collected online is correct.
But it is not the case with everybody.
Some children speak late.
Only child and the child exposed to multiple languages frequently learn to speak late.
If she mixes with more number of children about her age or more she picks up language quickly.
Some children learn to speak as late as 3 years.
Hence you need not worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose

Take care
