ELT lexical syllabus

Simple English of the kind used for the Simple English version of wikipedia doesn't have a strict definition of the words that are permissible...but it certainly includes all of the 850 in Ogden's list of 850 basic ones.

Comparing this with the KET wordlist I find that Ogden has 190 words not covered by KET. See the "new lists" page on Wikieducator.
