Silmaril gates of moria question

I haven't read all the way through the Sil, the answer is probably in there, but I'm busy, lazy, and curious. This has bothered me for a long time...why is the language above the gates of moria in elvish when it's a dwarvish cave? Elves don't like caves. They don't like dwarves. So why elvish? Someone told me that dwarves don't have their own written language. Is that the reason or is there more to the story?
