well i don't know about other countries that much to judge.
But when i read our history there are some actions that just one king did and they caused some major parts of culture or language to remain for us.
And there's a poet who lived 1000 years ago called
Ferdosi and his poems saved many words and many people call him the saver of Parsi.so you see just one person can effect a great culture so much through the centuries,so how is it possible that a government can't have long term plans to do it? i think government means power,so if it begins a cultural action,it will be the most effective.
I doubt that the government has little part in that.But that's just my view anyway!
I don't really mean to make this discussion long.
