Steve Martin chides me (and everybody else):
>No one has answered the question for me, of where it is stated the giants
>speak Darktongue.

Earliest mention is in the RQ2 rulesbook, p.103:

"Creatures of darkness, such as trolls, giants, shades, and their ilk, speak Darktongue. [...]"

Throughout the old RuneQuest supplements the giants are named as creatures of Darkness, a fact I had some difficulties with when I wormed my way into Glorantha knowledge from the side (as a late beginner).
