Basic English

Japanese: ベーシック・イングリッシュ(英語表記)Basic English
Basic English
A kind of international auxiliary language (international language) announced by Cambridge University psychologist CK Ogden in 1930. Quite different from so-called "artificial" international languages ​​such as Esperanto, it is based on the English that is actually used, with its vocabulary and grammar reduced in complexity, and is intended to be easily understandable by any native English speaker. "Basic" means "basic" and is also claimed to be an acronym for "British, American, Scientific, International, Commercial."

Japanese:
ケンブリッジ大学の心理学者C.K.オグデンが1930年に発表した一種の国際補助語(国際語)。エスペラントのような,いわゆる〈人為的〉な国際語とはかなり異なり,実際に用いられている英語を母体として,語彙,文法などの面でその複雑さを切りつめ,かつ,英語を母国語とする人ならだれでもすぐに理解できるものであろうとした。〈ベーシック〉とは〈基本的〉の意であるとともに,〈British,American,Scientific,International,Commercial〉の頭文字であると主張される。
