No more than Sindarin. Or less, perhaps. Quenya was an elven language, not an Ainur-ian one. And as the tongue of the Noldor, i doubt he would have appreciated it...

But how could you press for Dwarvish, since that is a secret tongue, not spoken to strangers.

It should be replaced with Black Speech, the real lingua franca of middle-earth. Spoken from Gundabad to Harad, from Moria to Rhun. Knowledge of Black Speech is a must for any fast-rising minion of Mordor.
