Ogden's Basic English: survivor da lista de palavras básica com 850 palavras, utilizada como vocabulário inicial da língua inglesa ensinada mundialmente, especialmente na Ásia.

Princípios: Ogden procurou simplificar o inglês mantendo-o normal para falantes nativos, especificando restrições gramaticais e um vocabulário controlado que faz uso extensivo de paralelismos sémanticos.

Vocabulário: Ogden incluía apenas raízes de palavras na sua lista de palavras, que seriam estendidas com os respectivos afixos e formas permitidas. A lista de palavras básicas de Basic English contém 850 palavras e, teoricamente, é suficiente para a vida diária.

Aprendizagem adicional: Ogden recomendava que qualquer estudante aprendesse uma lista adicional de 150 palavras para atividades específicas em algum campo, composta por uma lista de 100 palavras comumente úteis nesse campo e por uma lista de 50 palavras adicionais mais especializadas.

Subconjuntos de palavras internacionais: Ogden assumia que qualquer estudante deveria estar familiarizados com uns 200 "palavras internacionais" e, portanto, apenas as revisariam.

Grau de aprendizagem: Basic English propunha um vocabulário realista simples de 2000 palavras, consistindo na lista básica de palavras de 850 palavras, os 200 palavras internacionais e uma lista de 1000 palavras para os campos em comum de negócios, economia e ciência.

Gramática: Basic English possui uma gramática simples para modificar ou combinar suas 850 palavras, baseada no inglês, mas muito mais simples.

Críticas: Basic English pode ser criticada por ser inherentemente divisiva e baseada em preferências pessoais, como todas as IALs (Idiomas Auxiliares Internacionais). Além disso, pode ser criticada por essa escolha de vocabulário e pelas suas restrições gramaticais.

Referências literárias: Basic English foi retratado na novela "A Forma das Coisas que Vem", de H.G. Wells, como a língua franca de uma nova elite que consegue unir o mundo e estabelecer um governo totalitário. Na visão de Wells, a grande maioria da humanidade conhece essa língua. De 1942 a 1944, George Orwell foi um defensor de Basic English, mas em 1945 se tornou crítico de línguas universais. Basic English serviu de inspiração para a criação de Newspeak em "Nineteen Eighty-Four" de Orwell.
