Charles Kay Ogden (1889–1957) was a British linguist, philosopher, and psychologist best known for his work on language and communication. He is perhaps most famous for co-developing the Basic English language system, which is a simplified version of English designed to facilitate international communication and learning. Basic English comprises a limited vocabulary of 850 words, aiming to enable effective communication without the complexity of the full English language.
