I have been looking into an idea like this but I was thinking about reducing language to three letter words. Most languages use about 3,000 words to make usable language. My thought was take the shortest words from every language and reduce the language to the least words needed. French is an interesting language to look at as it uses less than a 1,000 words to be usable. Maybe a basic language with 600 words could be made workable.
