IIRC, Ginny didn't know what she was doing when she was under the 
control of Tom Riddle.  If she can paint walls, kill roosters etc. 
without knowing what she is doing then I'm pretty sure that Tom 
Riddle would be able to speak parseltongue through her as well.  She 
was, in a sense, "hypnotised" - total mind control, and we know that 
people do all kinds of things they aren't really normally able to do 
when they are hypnotised.
