====2nd-person pronouns====
Many languages distinguish between [[T–V distinction|formal and informal 2nd-person pronouns]].
* In [[German language|German]], the formal 2nd-person plural pronoun {{lang|de|Sie}} is capitalized along with all its [[grammatical case|case]]-forms ({{lang|de|Ihre}}, {{lang|de|Ihres}}, etc.), but these words are not capitalized when used as 3rd-person feminine singular or plural pronouns. Until the recent [[German orthography reform of 1996#|German spelling reform(s)]], the traditional rules (which are still widely adhered to, although not taught in schools) also capitalized the informal 2nd-person singular pronoun {{lang|de|Du}} (and its derivatives, such as {{lang|de|Dein}}) when used in letters or similar texts, but this is no longer required.
* [[Italian language|Italian]] also capitalizes its formal pronouns, {{lang|it|Lei}} and {{lang|it|Loro}}, and their cases (even within words, e.g. {{lang|it|arrivederLa}} "goodbye", formal). This is occasionally also done for the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] {{lang|nl|U}}, though this is formally only required when referring to a deity and may be considered archaic.
* In [[Spanish language|Spanish]], the abbreviations of the pronouns {{lang|es|usted}} and {{lang|es|ustedes}}, {{lang|es|Ud.}}, {{lang|es|Uds.}}, {{lang|es|Vd.}}, and {{lang|es|Vds.}}, are usually written with a capital.
* In [[Finnish language|Finnish]] and [[Estonian language|Estonian]], the second-person plural pronoun can be used when formally addressing a single person, and in writing the pronoun is sometimes capitalized as {{lang|fi|Te}} to indicate special regard. In a more familiar tone, one can also capitalize the second-person singular pronoun {{lang|fi|Sinä}} ({{lang|ee|Sina}} in Estonian).<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.kielitoimistonohjepankki.fi/ohje/518 | title = Teitittely: oletteko kokeillut tätä? | website = Institute for the Languages of Finland | access-date = 6 March 2017 }}</ref>
* Similarly, in [[Russian language|Russian]] the formal second-person pronoun {{lang|ru|Вы}}, and its [[oblique case]]s {{lang|ru|Вас}}, {{lang|ru|Вам}} etc., are capitalized (usually in personal correspondence); also in [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]].
* [[Slovenian language|Slovenian]], [[Croatian language|Croatian]], [[Serbian language|Serbian]] capitalize the formal second-person pronoun {{lang|sr-Latn|Vi}} along with its oblique cases ({{lang|sr-Latn|Vas}}, {{lang|sr-Latn|Vam}}, {{lang|sr-Latn|Vami}}) and personal pronoun ({{lang|sr-Latn|Vaš}} etc.) in formal correspondence. Historically, the familiar second-person pronoun {{lang|sr-Latn|ti}} and its cases ({{lang|sr-Latn|tebe}}, {{lang|sr-Latn|tebi}}, {{lang|sr-Latn|teboj}}) were capitalized as well, but new orthography prohibits such use.
* In [[Danish language|Danish]], the plural second-person pronoun, {{lang|da|I}}, is capitalized, but its other forms {{lang|da|jer}} and {{lang|da|jeres}} are not. This distinguishes it from the preposition {{lang|da|i}} ("in"). The less commonly used formal singular second-person pronoun is also capitalized in all its forms ({{lang|da|De}}, {{lang|da|Dem}}, {{lang|da|Deres}}), distinguishing it from the otherwise identical third-person plural pronouns.
* In [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]], both second-person singular and plural have a capitalized alternative form ({{lang|nb|De}}, {{lang|nb|Dem}}, {{lang|nb|Deres}} in [[Bokmål]]; {{lang|nn|De}}, {{lang|nn|Dykk}}, {{lang|nn|Dykkar}} in [[Nynorsk]]) to express formality for both subject and object of a sentence, but is very rarely used in modern speech and writing.
* In formally written [[Polish language|Polish]], [[Czech language|Czech]], [[Slovak language|Slovak]] and [[Latvian language|Latvian]], most notably in letters and [[e-mail]]s, all pronouns referring to the addressee are capitalized. This includes {{lang|pl|Ty}} ("thou") and all its related forms such as {{lang|pl|Twój}} and {{lang|pl|Ciebie}}. This principle extends to [[noun]]s used formally to address the addressee of a letter, such as {{lang|pl|Pan}} ("sir") and {{lang|pl|Pani}} ("madam").
* In [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]], capitalizing the formal second-person pronoun {{lang|id|Anda}} along with all references to the addressee, such as "{{lang|id|(kepada) Bapak/Ibu}}" ((to) Sir/Madam), is required in practice of {{lang|id|Ejaan Yang Disempurnakan}} (Perfected Orthography).<ref>[http://id.wikisource.org/wiki/Pedoman_Umum_Ejaan_Bahasa_Indonesia_yang_Disempurnakan#F._Huruf_Kapital General Guide to Perfected Spelling of the Indonesian Language, Section: Capital Letters] (in Indonesian) from Indonesian Wikisource.</ref> However, some people do not know of or choose not to adhere to this spelling rule. In contrast, [[Malay language|Malay]] orthography used in [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]] and [[Brunei]] does not require the capitalization of {{lang|ms|anda}}.
* In [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] and its standard form, [[Filipino language|Filipino]], the formal second-person pronouns {{lang|tl|Kayo}} and {{lang|tl|Ninyo}} and their oblique form {{lang|tl|Inyo}} are customarily and reverentially capitalized as such, particularly in most digital and printed media related to religion and its references. Purists who consider this rule as nonstandard and inconsistent do not apply it when writing.
* In [[Tajik language|Tajik]], capitalization is used to distinguish the second-person formal pronoun ''{{lang|tg|Шумо}}'' from the second-person plural pronoun ''{{lang|tg|шумо}}''.
* In Swedish, since {{lang|sv|[[du-reformen]]}}, the second-person singular pronoun {{lang|sv|du}} may be capitalized as {{lang|sv|Du}} when addressed formally.
