Italian government seeks to penalize the use of English words

In 1994 France passed a law banning the use of English words in official documents.

There followed a highly entertaining (if you like that sort of thing) debate in the UK House of Commons as to whether to retaliate by banning French words[1][2]. The difference being, they were only joking while the French were deadly serious.

It's maybe not even possible to expel all the loanwords from Norman and more recent French, as well as Latin, from the language. But things like Anglish[0] exist.
