Animatopian Basic Standard, also known as Animatopian Basic, Animatopian Standard, Animatopian Common, Animatopian Common Standard, or just simply Basic, is the name of the most common, universal, prominent, and prevalent language, or a lingua franca, in the world of Animatopia, mostly spoken and written by various races or inhabitants, such as—but not limited to—humans (including anime and cartoon humanoids), mutants, humanoid stick figures, Oarcks, Azuloids, elves, Dwarvenomes (dwarfs and gnomes), Trolloids (humanoid trolls), shaded humanoids, Necroids, Negrons, Brunoids, anthropomorphic animals and beasts, and other humanoids, monsters, and aliens within the planet. Basic is also based on and influenced by the English language due to the proper pronunciations with some different spellings of its vocabulary as being used for interracial and international communications.

The written form of Basic is predominantly a glyphic script known as Alfebeth, but it could be written and transliterated in a variety of different scripts, including Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, hangul, Han, and katakana.

Pronunciation
In Animatopian Basic, the pronunciation of each word are properly remained the same as it relies more on the English language, but the difference is their pronunciation-based spellings using Alfebeth as its literal basis.

Trivia

 * Like Esperanto, Animatopian Basic Standard may be inspired by the English language as it is used for international communication instead of speaking Japanese, French, Arabic, and Greek as examples. However, it also shares its influences that derived from the following popular culture references:
 * In the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game, the Common tongue, usually based on the English language, is a lingua franca, or a universal language, spoken natively by humans, and bilingually by other race, including halflings, half-elves, and half-orcs. In addition, the Common tongue has great hints of the Icelandic tongue. The concept came from Westron, the "common tongue" of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, most specifically Middle Earth, hence the name.
 * Animatopian Basic Standard shares similarities with Common from the Warcraft universe as it relies more on English, with the exception of words from an ancient tongue.
 * Animatopian Basic Standard, as its name implies, is a direct inspiration of Galactic Basic Standard from the Star Wars franchise. Both this and Galactic Basic have different written forms (Alfebeth and Aurebesh, respectively) to transcribe themselves. Basic is also the name given to the English language in the Star Wars universe.
