It strongly depends on your environment, you must know what is the input
encoding. If the decision is up to you, I would stronly suggest to use
either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX with input un UTF-8, fonts selected by the
fontenc package and I would prefer polyglossia to babel. I wrote an article
in Hindi with short texts in several languages. It used \usepackage{style}
and my style.sty contained:

\RequirePackage{fontspec,polyglossia,zwtools,zwpoetry}
\setdefaultlanguage{hindi}
\setotherlanguages{czech,english,greek,russian}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX,Scale=1.1]{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\newfontfamily\hindifont[Script=Devanagari,Mapping=devanagarinumerals]{FreeSans}
\newfontfamily\greekfont[Scale=1.25]{EB Garamond}
\newfontfamily\russianfont[Scale=1.25]{EB Garamond}
