BASIC GLOBISH
Globish (from the words "global" and "English") is becoming the widespread language of the business world that is used among non-Anglophones. This language was put together by Jean-Paul Nerriere who considered it "the world dialect of the third millennium." The "English-lite" 1,500 word listing is similar to what I.A. Richards did with 850 word "Basic English" for use in China in the 1920s. Another attempt has been "Anglic," but this does not use English words in their commonly spelled forms, and looks strange to many of us native-born English users. As a pastime for about 20 years, I have worked on a "Basic English" of about 1,200 words; this has been background work on my "Appalachian Word Listing."
English-speaking nations need to put resources into the communications process in order to equal the efforts of non-natives second language people. It is not fair that all second language-learning efforts be made by others especially from developing countries; far better that we learn to limit our global language in order to help them. Let's keep words basic and simple.
Our goal is to use "basic Globish" in our Internet Daily Reflections. Some might say that it will be limiting or "straight-jacketing" subjects that are being addressed. That is why it will take some time to choose those words, which prove most necessary and which to substitute. American speakers use about ten thousand words and writers twice that number; people in different professions have their own technical words. How about defining additional words when used? The future goal of limited but appropriate expression is for the benefit of a wide variety of people who read these reflections and consider English as a second language. Let's go half way?
The listing of my 1,500 basic "Globish" words (black-underlined) is quite similar to the existing Internet Globish listing (in bold letters). Some 195 words that have been added (++) (underlined), and 195 words that have been combined, removed or substituted by existing words are in bold (--). When the two listings are the same, the word is made bold and underlined (XX). When words are combined (e.g. with + in) or are forms of a basic stem (e.g., inform and "information"), we include both under one heading.
In addition, we list four groupings, or a total of 500 words:
76 commonly used American proper names;
127 American foods;
186 other American words such as business; and
111 regional plants and animals.

The 700+ grey-underlined major words (in caps) in The Penguin Roget's College Thesaurus in Dictionary Form (New York: Penguin Putnam, Inc., 2003) are included here or fitting substitutes made.

Globish should not indeed dominate the World, because this would be unethical.
Globish reminds me of another project called "Basic English" Unfortunately this failed, because native English speakers could not remember which words not to use :)
So it's time to move forward and adopt a neutral non-national language, taught universally in schools worldwide,in all nations.
As a native English speaker, I would prefer Esperanto
Your readers may be interested in the following video at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_YHALnLV9XU Professor Piron was a translator with the United Nations in Geneva.
A glimpse of Esperanto can be seen at http://www.lernu.net
I often have people from overseas staying with me, and have only rudimentary learning of English, and want to learn more.
I just wanted a basic vocabulary, that I can help to make sure they have the basics covered.
Prounciation is encouraged in full English, (traditonal) as I speak it.
