Los escapes de propiedades Unicode se encuentran entre las características de ES2018.
Uso básico
Con Unicode Property Escapes, puede hacer coincidir una letra de cualquier idioma con la siguiente expresión regular simple:
/\p{Letter}/u
O con la taquigrafía, incluso terser:
/\p{L}/u
Palabras coincidentes
Sobre el caso de la pregunta uso concreto (palabras coincidentes), nota que puede utilizar Unicode Propiedad Escapes en las clases de caracteres, por lo que es fácil para que coincida con las letras junto con otras palabras-personajes como guiones:
/[\p{L}-]/u
Al unirlo todo, podría unir palabras de todos [1] idiomas con este RegEx maravillosamente corto:
/([\p{L}-]+)/ug
Ejemplo (descaradamente enchufado de la respuesta anterior ):
'Düsseldorf, Köln, Москва, 北京市, إسرائيل !@#$'.match(/([\p{L}-]+)/ug)
// ["Düsseldorf", "Köln", "Москва", "北京市", "إسرائيل"]
[1] Tenga en cuenta que no soy un experto en idiomas. Es posible que aún desee hacer su propia investigación con respecto a otros caracteres que pueden ser partes de palabras además de letras y guiones.
Soporte de navegador
A partir de ahora (diciembre de 2018), solo pude probar esta expresión regular con éxito en Chrome (y otros navegadores basados en Blink, como Opera, Vivaldi o futuras versiones de Microsoft Edge) y Safari (a partir de la versión 12, Pruebas anteriores con la versión 11 ha fallado). Sin embargo, dado que la especificación está terminada y la característica está estandarizada, espere que otros navegadores modernos la sigan pronto.
Hice un pequeño sitio web para que verifiques si tu navegador es compatible con Unicode Property Escapes.
Transpiling
Los escapes de propiedades Unicode pueden transferirse a ES5 con una herramienta llamada regexpu . Hay una demostración en línea disponible aquí . Como puede ver en la demostración, de hecho puede hacer coincidir las letras no latinas de hoy con la siguiente (horriblemente larga) expresión regular ES5:

Si está utilizando Babel, también hay un complemento regexpu para eso ( complemento Babel v6 , complemento Babel v7 ).

suena como si solo quisieras letras que no están en inglés y no todos los caracteres que no están en inglés como dice el título de tu pregunta.
