Googling for "Swadesh list" will be effective.  But you should realize
that it is a list which Swadesh assumed, based on limited data, would be
fairly stable over time (not very subject to borrowing).  It isn't really
a list of "basic concepts": notably "ash" and "(tree) bark".

Note that there is a 200-term list and a 100-term list.
