I'm guessing that language 5 is already allocated as the 
"nohyphenation" language, but not reported as there are no hyphenation 
ops. So then your Sanskrit then becomes language 6. The actual numbers 
shouldn't matter (they'll change if you enable/disable other languages, 
anyway), as your documents should always be using the symbolic names.
