Natural semantic metalanguage

Geekyness from Wikipedia:

The Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) is an approach to semantic analysis based on reductive paraphrase (that is, breaking concepts/words down into combinations of simpler concepts/words, see Oligosynthetic language) using a small collection of semantic primes. The semantic primes (below) are believed to be atomic, primitive meanings present in all human languages.
