It's more of the language the magicians use when they originally invent a specific brand of summoning. It's like... Swimming. You can use many different strokes to go the same distance, but they each have their own use and protection. Often, you'll have to layer two or three summonings- so two or three languages with their own unique syntax- that's when it gets a bit complex. The Shriviling Fire, the punishment I told you about that kills the spirits, requires five languages and several minutes of speech.
[A little pause though as he thinks.] Fluently, I'd say six. But in old, dead languages, a complete dialect was never recorded, so I only know of those what is necessary for summoning in about five others.
