Once we get this system going, yes these languages wont go extinct, and then maybe we can worry about the other less spoken languages. We have to start somewhere.

I thought you wanted to ape the Indian system?
The Indian constitution recognizes Hindi in Devanagiri script as India's
sole national language, with provisions for the use of English as an ancillary official language. The 22 regional languages you speak of are only given the status of "scheduled languages" at the federal level...and quite a few of those languages receive very little actual support from the federal government.
