Basic English is English made simple by limiting the number of its words to 850, and by cutting down the rules for using them to the smallest number necessary for the clear statements of ideas. And this is done without change in the normal order and behavior of these words in everyday English. This is the first point to make clear. Basic English has only 850 words and its rules, but it keeps to the regular forms of English. And though it is designed to give the learner as little trouble as possible, it is no more strange to the eyes of its readers than these lines, which are, in fact, in Basic English.
The second point to make clear is that even with so small a word list and so simple a structure it is possible to say in Basic English anything needed for the general purposes of everyday existence—in business, trade, industry, science, medical work—in all the arts of living, in all the exchanges of knowledge, desires, beliefs, opinions, and news, which are the chief work of a language. It is true that if we go outside the field of general interests and into special branches of the sciences, the arts or the trades, we shall have to have other words, not listed among the 850. But the senses of these other words may be made clear in footnotes with the 850, by teaching given through Basic English, or they may be seen in the General Basic English Dictionary, which, using only the basic words, gives the senses of twenty thousand words. In this way Basic English becomes a framework in which words needed for special purposes take their place, and from and through which they take their senses. A knowledge of the 850 and of the rules by which they are put together is enough, however, for talk and writing on all everyday general levels. It would be clear but not very bright reading. The same word—because there are only 850 of them—would keep coming back again and again. A reader who has the rest of the English Language may get a little tired of Basic Writing after a time.
The third most important point about Basic English is that it is not merely a list of words, governed by a minimum apparatus of essential English Grammar, but a highly organized system designed throughout to be as easy as possible for a learner who is totally ignorant of English or of any related language. It is a language for all the world, not just for those who happen to have some related language as their mother tongue. [br] The most suitable title for the whole passage is ______.
