Classical and non-vocal jazz work best for me. I find that words in languages I don't understand (like in most classical music) are fine. However, one thing to look out for is a theme that you know too well. I know some of my non-vocal music so well that I sing the melodies in my head the same way I would do if they had lyrics. The key is to have some variety, and nothing that demands too much attention. Finally, I think silence is the best for writing, while music is relaxing for reading and math/science/other kinds of work. You should experiment some in the beginning and see what works for you.
