...Furthermore, a vocabulary that is designed to be able to express everything with only a planned and systematically limited vocabulary is usually called a "basic vocabulary," and CK Ogden's Basic English (850 words) is a famous example.

*Some of the terminology explanations that refer to "Basic Japanese" are listed below.
