Okay, so after going all the way back to Season 1, I've found all of Butters' potential speaking moments:

The first one is in "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" where all the kids are suprised and impressed at the boys' experiment and they get out of their seats and step up to get a closer look; the group of classmates enthusiastically say various phrases simultaneously and Butters is one of the many kids in that group. However, when this is shown, their mouths aren't shown moving since they start talking while they're stepping up, and the camera view is shown back way, so thus only their backs are visbile instead of their faces.

His second potential speaking role was in "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" where the whole class is shown on the stage and they start gasping and exclaiming "wow!" after Mr. Hankey turns out to be real, and Butters is shown in that scene. However, Butters' mouth is only animated when he gasps along with the class, when the whole class says "wow!" his mouth is blocked out by the presence of Kenny in the way. But the thing I'm not sure about is whether the whole class exclaimed "wow!" or if it was just the four main boys.

In "Damien", he is shown screaming after falling off playground equipment Damien burned down, but I don't know if that counts as a speaking role since it was only a scream.

In "Conjoined Fetus Lady", he is shown on Stan's dodgeball team and walks away along with the rest of the kids after realizing dodgeball is useless. The kids tell Pip to shut up at the end, although this is their voices only since they walked away and are on they're way to leave. Since Stan and Cartman's (both of whom were a part of the dodgeball team) voices were audible during the process where everyone tells Pip to shut up, it's quite possible Butters was one of the people telling him to shut up too, but since it happened when only their voices were present, I can't confirm this.

In "Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods", Butters speaks for the first time with a solo line, he says the words "me too!" after thr Planetarium employee offers the children volunteer work for the Planetarium. This is his first solo line because he encourages the group of kids to eagerely exclaim a speech rather than participating in a speech with everybody that was already started by another person, and his mouth is shown moving while he says this line as opposed to all his other potential speaking roles above (save for "Damien" because he screamed in that episode and his mouth was shown moving but I don't know if screaming counts as a speaking role).

Whatever one of those episodes you think counts as his first speaking role, please put it in the debut speaking role section of his article.
