Basic English

Basic English is a simplified version of the English language developed by Charles Kay Ogden. It uses around 850 common words to make communication easier, especially for learners and international use. The goal is to focus on essential vocabulary and straightforward grammar, making it accessible without losing clarity or meaning. By limiting the words, Basic English helps people understand and learn the language more quickly, fostering clearer global communication while retaining the ability to express important ideas effectively.
