================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering whether anyone could help me in my search for equivalents
of West's (1953) General Service List, frequency-ordered list of basic
English vocab, for the following languages:

- French
- German
- Spanish
- Italian
- Chinese

Thanks in advance for your help with this
I will post a summary of replies
