Dear Martin:
	There is a very old book by Helen Eaton, first published I
believe in the 1930s and republished about in the 1960s by Dover, and I
believe still in print (I don't remember the title at the moment, and
I'm not at home to be able to look it up), with lists of at least the
top 1000 words in 5 important European languages, at least including
English, Spanish, German and French, and I believe Italian is the other
one.  Usually, the most frequent words (which these are) are what you
would consider the most 'important' ones as well.  Furthermore, despite
the relative antiquity of these lists, they should not have changed much
in the interim.
	Jim
