The earliest that I've heard of a kid talking is about 9 months, although my 2 year old nephew isn't speaking yet. Since I'm about to become a dad for the first time myself, I've been doing some reading, and I think that the general consensus is aroun 14-18 months, although some kids are slower and some are faster. Part of it has to do with the development of the soft palate, the tongue and the interaction between the two.
Worst case, your son will be biligual with English and Bulgarian which could lead him easily (or so I hear from a Bulgarian friend) into Russian, Ukranian and other Slavic languages.
