The fact France has an institution to control language seems distinctly counter productive to it being a lasting language.

Languages have always evolved over time; fighting that seems likely to hasten it's uselessness.

Doesn't every European language have such an institution? They just battle new developments to their language for like 20 years just to eventually adapt them anyway. Acting like it was their idea all along

Spanish (aka Castilian) has one for every country.
