This may be a bad idea. Living languages undergo permanent changes, 
what's the reason for different languages at all. Looking at e.g. Latin, 
it survived for a very long time now, with few local differences in 
pronunciation - did you ever hear French people speaking Latin? Russian 
and French are other "managed" languages, which are not allowed to 
change much.
