All variants of BASIC by DEC does this. A few others I've tried also do. But since
BASIC was not standardized for the longest time, it's hard to claim that BASIC really
was one way or another. I have definitely not tried every dialect that has existed.

FORTRAN, yes. BASIC (which dialect might we be
talking about?)
normally
actually start with 0. However, BASIC is weird, in that the DIM
statement is
actually specifying the highest usable index, and not the size of the
array.
Eh? Not in any BASIC I ever used. They all started at 1. Can't
vouch
for the later Microsoft "visual" variants but the original 1970's era
BASIC
started with 1.
DIM X(10) gave you ten elements from 1...10
