This is a Swadesh list of 207 words in English and Polish. The Swadesh word list, developed by the linguist Morris Swadesh, is used as a tool to study the evolution of languages. It contains a set of basic words which can be found in every language. Various versions have been created, in particular:
 * a complete 207 words version, in which some of the words are not found in every environment (it contains for instance snake and snow)
 * a reduced 100 words version.

This word list should not be considered as an elementary lexicon to communicate with speakers of a given language; for such a purpose, the numerous existing Wikitravel lexicons are more useful. Its only objective is to give a rough idea of the language, by showing its lexical and, when possible, phonetics basis.

List
* the personal pronouns are frequently omitted

When the words have various forms (verbs conjugation, gender and number agreement, declensions), the orthography is the following :
 * Orthography :
 * verbs : infinitive
 * other words : masculine or neutral, singular, nominative (subject)

For specific cases (no infinitive, feminine name, plural name for instance), the simplest form is used.
