In all the research I've done, potty training begins when the parents decide they are sick of changing diapers and ends when the child is physiologically prepared. Happier parents and kids occur when those two dates are as close as possible.
Four kids, potty trained between two and four and a half (hence the research).
I'm from the UK. Potty training generally happens at age 2 or 3. To achieve full dry night potty training is usually more like age 3. However, it's pretty common for kids to need a lot more time to go through the night dry.
I don't know. I recently borrowed a book from a co-worker, a young mother, about potty-training. They talked about different approaches in different parts of the world. The author was American, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to cross-check what she wrote. (And most people on HN are from the US, that's why I assumed so.)

Where are you from? The US?
Is it normal to do potty training so late?

Talk about shaping the evidence to suit your hypothesis.
