Hi,

Why don't you get an existing collection of similar size from Parley and
use that? It will probably be generic enough for a start.

</div>Hi,<br>
<br>
I think the list of such words strongly depends on the goal of the learning of \
foreign language. One book that is meant to study mathematicians to write scientific \
texts for English journals recommends ~30 phrases and ~20 rules to use in the texts \
and that&#39;s enough (tested). ;)<br>

<br>
For spoken conversation, words do not mean much but phrases do.<br>
<br>
If you want to read papers, some statistical analysis can be at hand [1] (analysis \
can be complex if the inflexion rules should be taken into account). There are many \
linguistic papers on the topic of decipher of ancient languages and statistical \
methods are proven to be effective if some language rules and the direction of \
writing are known.<br>
