It was suggested to me recently that if a limited amout of information, such as names and relationship, was needed from documents in Court French, a limited vocabulary of at most 20 words was needed for understanding.
Any ideas or suggestions as to what these may be?

Hej John

My suggestions would be

husband = mari or époux

wife = épouse, femme, madame or bougreesse

sister = soeur

brother = frére or frangin

father = pere

mother = mere

daughter = fille

son = fils

uncle = oncle

aunt = tante

nephew = neveu

niece = niéce
