In the classic game, you can't use foreign words unless the words appear in a standard English dictionary. But if you are playing with friends, you can agree ahead of timewhat languages will and will not be allowed. It might be tricky allowing foreign words, unless you can all agree that the words have to be listed in an already present dictionary of words in that language. After all, it's a game. If you do it fairly you can apply any rules you want. And fairness will be the key, unless there are players who are really bad sports. A person may be bilingual or multilingual, and that alone should not give a person an advantage over the other players.
