I'm removing this, as it seems to be to open ended, and thus slanted towards modern answers about why it isn't being done. If you wish to rephrase it to specifically be asking about why it wasn't made the official language in the past, please feel free to though. If you are looking for current reasons though, I would suggest /r/Ask_Politics.
