The Moriquendi, literally 'Dark Elves' were all the elves who had never looked on the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. The term 'Dark Elf', however is more commonly applied to the Avari (the Elves who refused Orome's summons).
The language of the writing on the ring was indeed the Black Speech of Mordor, but the letters it was written in were elvish letters of Eregion.
