 Basic English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basic English is a constructed language with a small number of words created by Charles Kay Ogden and described in his book Basic English: A General Introduction with Rules and Grammar (1930).
The language is based on a simplified version of English.
The references to Newspeak could be interpreted as a hidden critique against "universal languages".

 BASIC programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BASIC was intended to address the complexity issues of older languages with a new language designed specifically for the new class of users the time-sharing systems allowed — that is, a "simpler" user who was not as interested in speed as in simply being able to use the machine.
BASIC was designed to allow students to write programs for the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System.
The original BASIC language was invented in 1963 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.

 Basic English and Grammatical Reform, 1937, C.K. Ogden
In connection with syntax, the relations of Logic and Grammar were illustrated by the neglect of context in interpreting isolated symbols, or Gagas; and the confusion of operators and verbs showed the value of a linguistic Theory of Fictions for a classification of the so-called Parts of Speech.
For this reason Basic has been welcomed by discerning educationists not only as a touchstone for the appraisal of jargon in science and technical language generally, but as a valuable approach to the equally differentiated medium of literature and poetry.
In other words, any improvements in grammatical usage to which it may give rise will be indirect; but from the standpoint of grammar as a science—if the reader will kindly put himself for awhile in the position of those other rhinosceroi—it has certain suggestions to make which involve far-reaching changes.

 BASIC IDO-ENGLISH VOCABULARY
However, where several English words are given as equivalents of an Ido word, they must be understood as together showing the meaning of any one of them which on its own would be ambiguous.
In view of the ambiguity of many English words, in both vocabularies every effort has been made to indicate in parentheses which meaning is intended.
For some intransitive verbs (which cannot take a direct object) the preposition normally used after the verb has been given where this is likely to be helpful.
