The dwarves of Moria and the elvensmiths of Eregion had the closest relationship between elves and dwarves. Hence it was an elf (Celebrimbor) who made the dwarven gate and since his people also were to ones to use it mostly (alongside with the dwarves of course), it was made in elven language. It is also possible that the enchantment upon the gate could only be made with elven letters.
