It might be interesting to consider bodies some countries have created to regulate language use. In particular, in some some cases (as far as I'm aware), they do their best to purge the language of foreign loanwords. See French's Académie française and Hindi's Central Hindi Directorate.

Interesting that you anglicized one instead of the other, that is, why not use "French Academy" and "Kendriya Hindi Nideshalaya".
