	BASIC programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original BASIC language was invented in 1963 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
		BASIC was intended to address the complexity issues of older languages with a new language designed specifically for the new class of users the time-sharing systems allowed — that is, a "simpler" user who was not as interested in speed as in simply being able to use the machine.
		BASIC also had the advantage that it was fairly well known to the young designers who took an interest in microcomputers at the time as a result of Kemeny and Kurtz's earlier proselytizing.

	Institute
		Basic English is a selection of 850 English words, used in simple structural patterns, which is both an international auxiliary language and a self-contained first stage for the teaching of any form of wider or Standard English.
		English is the most widely distributed language, it is the language of international commerce, and is a language of simple structure.
		If Basic English can be taught to a motivated student in one month, then adaptation to a typical classroom and addition of appropriate culture-content would require one semester, or at most, one year, to enable an immigrant to participate in a normal classroom.

	Basic English and Grammatical Reform, 1937, C.K. Ogden
		For Basic, four of the eight accepted parts of Speech—Nouns, Adjectives, Verbs, and Prepositions—are pointers, with functional and fictional analogues which it is essential for Grammar to distinguish from their archetypes; and the other four—Pronouns, Adverbs, Conjunctions, and Interjections—are purely linguistic accessories.
		On the educational side, the value of Basic as an impetus to, and a background for, the neglected science of Linguistic Therapy led to a discussion of the place of a nuclear vocabulary in the school curriculum.
		Basic English is a system in which 850 English words will do the work of 20,000, and so give to everyone a second or international language which will take as little of the learner's time as possible.

	Empires of the Mind? C.K. Ogden, Winston Churchill and Basic English - The Churchill Centre
		Basic English was created by C.K. Odgen (1889-1957) an academic who was recognized by A.J.P. Taylor as one of the great British "troublemakers" of the early twentieth century.
		The new rulers obviously did not agree with Churchill that Basic could be instrumental in winning the peace nor did they see its specific application in assisting in the preservation, in some form, of the scattered remnants of Britain’s empire.
		It is at least possible that post-imperial Britain might have assumed a very different face and that, as the Commonwealth fed upon the bones of what once had been, the mother country might better have been able to preserve the less tangible but more precious Empire which Churchill had envisioned.
