	BASIC programming language
		The original BASIC language was invented in 1964 by John George Kemeny (1926-93) and Thomas Eugene Kurtz (1928-) at Dartmouth College.
		BASIC 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.
		Although it is somewhat difficult to consider this language to be BASIC (despite its using many familiar BASIC keywords) it has gone on to become one of the most used languages on the Windows platform, and is said to represent some 70 to 80% of all commercial development.

		The original BASIC language was designed in 1963 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
		Versions of Microsoft BASIC soon started appearing on other platforms under license, and millions of copies and variants were soon in use; it became one of the standard languages on the Apple II (based on the quite different 6502 MPU).
		In some dialects, variables must be declared (using the DIM statement) on their first usage; other dialects do not require it, but can optionally enforce it—typically using a directive such as Option Explicit, In Visual Basic it is off by default but can be turned on using Option Explicit On.

	Basic English Found on the Web
		Basic English is a list of 850 words in English that are intended to be sufficient for day-to-day communication.
		Basic English, produced by Mr C. Ogden of the Orthological Institute, is a simple form of the English language which, with 850 words, is able to give the sense of anything which may be said in English.
		Basic English was developed by Charles Kay Ogden (1889-1957) as an ‘international language' and as a system for teaching English to speakers of other languages using a simplified vocabulary of 850 words.

	Galactic Basic Standard - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		The language was adopted by the Rebel Alliance, and as such was spoken in the Alliance of Free Planets, the New Republic, the Imperial Remnant, the Galactic Alliance, and the Fel, Sith and True Empires.
		Most Gamorreans could not speak Basic, though there were exceptions (such as Governor Kugg.) Whether or not a being could speak Basic, it was usually in their best interest to comprehend it, and most did.
		High Galactic was a dialect (perhaps a vocabulary of alternative words) intended for displaying reverence and honor to religious figures.

	RIF Basic Logic Dialect
		RIF's basic logic dialect carefully selects signatures for the symbols so that the corresponding logic will be first-order: each symbol has a unique role as an individual, a function symbol of a particular arity, or a predicate symbol of a particular arity.
		However, dialects extending the basic logic will be allowed to use signatures in less restrictive fashions so that symbols could be polymorphic, polyadic, and be allowed to occur in several different contexts (for example, both as individuals and as predicates).
		Dialects that extend the basic RIF logic dialect might appropriate some of the symbol spaces, which are undefined in the basic RIF dialect, and give them special semantics.

	BASIC_programming_language (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.
		As a result, knowledge of BASIC became relatively widespread for a computer language and BASIC was implemented by a number of manufacturers, and became fairly popular on newer minicomputers like the DEC PDP series and the Data General Nova.
		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.

		IP Basic is a compiler oriented Basic, that is, it is meant both to be compiled as interpreted.
		The stored program is listed with "list", and the "run" statement causes all variables to be reset to 0 and the first line of the program is executed.

	Rebuttal to David Brin's "Why Johnny Can't Code"
		BASIC programs in textbooks are unrunnable now because BASIC is no longer preinstalled, and no other language is widespread (or stable?) enough to replace it in new textbooks.
		Older BASICs mostly teach you how to cope with the limitations of the BASIC virtual machine, things like neither having nor being able to create a stack for parameter passing, and neither having nor being able to create dynamic memory allocation.
		BASIC implementations of the time he's talking about had very poor tracing facilities, so all you could see was what you told your program to output, and possibly line numbers.

	A First Approach to Programming in BASIC - Module 1 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Most BASIC dialects also allow a single-quote mark prior to a line of documentation, which is probably the preferred method of documentation from an aesthetic aspect.
		Some BASIC dialects are interpreted, which means that each line of code you type in is processed for errors when you press the Enter key.
		BASIC, unfortunately, makes "quick fixes" to your program very easy, but in the long run the Band-aid is worse than the surgery that would be required to correct an errant program, because your program becomes so contorted and convoluted that no one, not even the original programmer can make sense of it.

	Dialects, Languages and Ethnicity
		Dialects coincide in many significant cases with ethnic boundaries, either totally separate ethnicities, or distinguishable sub-groupings that are socially or geographically significant.
		The dialects are critical in initial access strategies, for identification and basic access to discrete communities in their heart language.
		When this Registry of Dialects is final, the ROP will update to this codeset for dialects to enable users to reference the data of other users of this standard coding of dialects.

	Visual Basic (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Visual Basic makes it easy to build, deploy, use, and reuse components, however it is not as easy to use forms created for one application with another, due to the global nature of the language.
		Visual Basic is limited to signed integers of 8 to 32 bits (8 to 64 bits in Visual Basic.NET and later), whereas many other languages provides built-in unsigned integers.
		Visual Basic 3.0 was released in the summer of 1993 and came in Standard and Professional versions.

	Programming PIC Microcontrollers in BASIC - mikroElektronika

		As each BASIC command is technically a sequence of assembly instructions, the exact time necessary for its execution can be calculated by simply summing up the execution times of constituent assembly instructions.
		BASIC enables the programs written for the original Basic stamp to be translated for the direct execution on the PIC12xxx, PIC16xxx, and PIC18Cxxx microcontrollers.

	Teaching about Dialects. ERIC Digest.
		Language variation, or dialect diversity, reflects the fact that languages change over time and that people who live in the same geographical area or maintain the same social identity share language norms; in other words, they speak the same dialect.
		But because other dialects make a distinction between the vowels i and e preceding the nasal sound /n/, speakers of those dialects may assess the Southern pronunciation as incorrect instead of simply different.
		Attitudes about various dialects may also be influenced by a continuing intolerance toward different ethnic and cultural groups.
