Wikipedia prefers italics for phrases in other languages and for isolated foreign words that do not yet have common use in the English language. Use anglicized spellings for such words, or use the native spellings if they use the [[Latin alphabet]] (with or without [[diacritic]]s).  For example: “Reading and writing in Japanese requires familiarity with ''[[hiragana]]'', ''[[katakana]]'', ''[[kanji]]'', and sometimes ''[[romaji|r&#333;maji]]''.”

[[Loan word]]s or phrases that have common use in English, however—[[praetor]], [[Gestapo]], [[samurai]], [[esprit de corps]]—do not require italicization.  If looking for a good rule of thumb, do not italicize words that appear in an English language dictionary. Per the [[Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Use other languages sparingly|guide to writing better Wikipedia articles]], use foreign words sparingly, and include native spellings in non-Latin scripts in parentheses. Native spellings in non-Latin scripts (such as [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] or [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]]) should not be italicized at all, even where this is technically feasible; the difference of script suffices.
