Speech issues of a 4.5 yo

Our fd talks very strange and I was wondering if I'm just being overly concerned or if she truly is delayed?

For some examples:

We were taking a walk one day and we crossed over a railroad track. FD said, "What the train is?"

Often when asking about something, she'll say, "Was is is?" instead of "what is this/it?"

When asking about riding her bike, she'll say, "Can us ride us bike?"

Those are just a few of the strange ways she says things. I always say what I think she's asking and have her repeat her request in the proper way, but that seems to confuse her and she acts like I'm teaching her a foreign language.

I am wondering if she is in need of speech therapy? What do you think?
