Re: where?

???????
Never heard that the french government regulates on official or forbidden words???
This is completely false. But then, I'm used to your way of thinking.
1)The french speaking Canadians are far more strict in the use of the french language than the French are; the people of Quebec are far more prompt to "invent" french words than is the case in Europe.
2) The French Academy (Academie Française) does issue advice about the use of some terms but it cannot decide how other french speaking countries will use them nor is it followed anyway in its own country. The French Academy is composed of people who are far above the average age in the country and nobody really cares....

BTW, I've noticed some of the words in your text come from french, originally:
astonishing: étonnant
comprised: compris
languages: languages
regulations: regulations
official: officiel
government: gouvernement
continues: continue
evolve: évoluer
enthusiastic: enthousiaste
style: style
dictionaries: dictionnaires
patiently: patiemment
example: exemple
entire: entier
symbol: symbole
based: basé

Sincerely yours...........Sincèrement votre
