BASIC English (Business Academic Scientific International Commercial) is a controlled language used to explain complex thoughts. It has 850 words chosen by Charles Kay Ogden. Some articles in the Simple English Wikipedia (this website) use only BASIC English.
In 1937, Ogden hired Otto Neurath and Marie Neurath to make International Picture Language as one of a group of eight books in BASIC English.
