So I've put a point into Linguistics. Yay.

What language should I learn? Are there better ones? More common ones? If I'm using language-dependant spells, how many languages should I shoot for to cover my bases?

In all honestly it depends on your GM.. either languages will be important and give you a real benefit and appreciated by your GM, they will be important because you need to speak with the creatures you summon, They will annoy your GM and he will use things you can't talk to whenever possible.

Ask your GM what he thinks of you taking languages and if there are any in particular that he would like to see added to the group for his campaign if it's not already obvious what languages you will need to learn.
If your doing it to communicate with things you summon/create, what are you and what are you doing? Telling about your character/campaign even if you arent the summoning type could be useful too

Oh right. For me, this would be about Pathfinder Society. More general answers are cool too though.

Well, each time my PFS fighter gains a level, I have him learn any languages he's encountered. So far, he speaks common, elven, dwarven, azlanti, and something else I can't remember. You could just go that route.
