Most of the words in Baanzish are from Germanic English, in a whimsical
mixture of Northern & Southern pronunciations. It has some pre-vowel-shift
vowels and most "al" words (eg. "all", hall", "falcon")
are still "al": (al, hal,
falk).
There is much Norse: eg. "wiktij" ("important")
is from Norwegian and "vjel" ("machine")
is Icelandic. There is even some mangled Hebrew (eg. "shav",
"sab" & "shosh" for "week",
"army" & "root"). At least one word, tiek
("fine") is Hindustani.
I have also included a page of Baanzish texts, to
which I will add as time goes by.
BASIC VOCABULARIES
I have used two: Ogden's Basic English word list and
the US Information Agency's "Special English".
Neither is really adequate. Ogden demonstrates the origin of Basic English
in the rarified atmosphere of Oxford University senior common rooms and the
Civil Service. Special English is clearly made for telling of the grand events
of the day as Americans expect to hear them. Each word list thus lacks huge
swathes of basic wordly experience. Ogden does not even include the fundamental
words "Honour", "Duty" and "Loyalty".
Ideally I would like to see a basic vocabulary produced by a ploughman, but
I doubt that I will.
This is the word list Ogden produced for his "Basic English", with
which words he thought all things could be expressed at a basic level in
English.
Ogden divided his list into:
Operations,
Things-
general words,
Things - picturable words,
Qualities - general &
Qualities
- opposites

Special English was developed by the United States Information Agency for
world-wide news broadcasts on the Voice of America. The intent was that using
only this limited vocabulary of about 1400 words, broadcasters can talk about
current events and everyday activities.
I find the list more practical than Ogden's since it contains ideas more
likely to be used in the real word rather than Ogden's rarified university
atmosphere. On the other hand it is a vocabulary designed to talk of largely
impersonal things.
