Feel free to use any of this: http://steen.free.fr/wenedyk/phrasebook.html . A few things there are mine, but it's also based on something called "The Conlanger's Phrasebook" or something. I guess you can find more about it in the archives of the Conlang List from quite a few years ago.

Here are two links for you:

If the links don't work, you can also access them in the files section of the Conculture list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conculture/files). The titles are "zahars_ethnographical_questionnaire.txt" and "Questions for conculturers".

Good luck!
