sushi and souffle aren't english but they are the best way to effectively communicate a specific meaning; the english version isn't as effective.
ciao is easily understood by english speakers but you're kind of going out of your way to avoid the optimal "bye" or "see you later" already available, so I wouldn't call it
'an english word' even if it became popular in english usage.
