Set default language inside Google Maps

I want to set a property using Google Maps API to dynamically set a specific language to display.

I have the following script:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed"></iframe>

I would like to set the language such as RU. I tried this:

 <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed&language=ru-RU"></iframe>

It still does not work. Can you help me?

From the documentation:

language defines the language to use for UI elements and for the display of labels on map tiles. Note that this parameter is only supported for some country tiles; if the specific language requested is not supported for the tile set, then the default language for that tileset will be used. By default, visitors will see a map in their own language.

There aren't any tiles in Russian for New York City, if you pan to Russia, you will see Russian tiles.
