Ukuthuthukiswa kobuzwe akuzange kuphume kuphela ngezimpi nokwanda kwezwe. Isiko libambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekwakheni umbono wesizwe: Ubuciko nezinkondlo, izindaba nomculo kwasiza ukuveza nokubumba imizwa yezwe.
Ake sibheke ezothando, inhlangano yamasiko eyayifuna ukuthuthukisa uhlobo oluthile lokuzwela kwemizwa yezwe. Abaculi bezothando nezimbongi ngokuvamile bagxeka ukukhazinyuliswa kwesizathu nesayensi futhi bagxile kakhulu emizweni, ekuhlolweni nasemizweni eyimfihlakalo. Umzamo wabo kwakuwukudala umuzwa wefa elihlanganyelwe elabiwe, okwedlule kwesiko okwedlule, njengesisekelo sesizwe.
Amanye ama-romantics afana nesazi sefilosofi saseJalimane uJohann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803) athi isiko leqiniso laseJalimane lalizotholwa phakathi kwabantu abavamile – i-DAS Volk. Kwakungezingoma zabantu, izinkondlo zabantu kanye nezinkondlo zabantu zidansa umoya wezwe wesizwe (iVolksgeist) wathandwa. Ngakho-ke ukuqoqa nokuqopha lezi zinhlobo zamasiko abantu kubalulekile kuphrojekthi yezwe.
Ukugcizelelwa ngolimi lwendabuko kanye nokuqoqwa kwezinganekwane zasendaweni kwakungekhona nje ukuthola umoya wasendulo wezwe, kodwa futhi nokuthwala umyalezo wanamuhla wezwe kubalaleli ezinkulu ezazingafundile kakhulu. Lokhu kwenzeka ikakhulukazi ePoland, eyayihlukaniswe ngasekupheleni kwekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalombili ngamandla amakhulu – iRussia, iPrussia nase-Austria. Noma iPoland yayingasekho njengendawo ezimele, imizwa yezwe yagcinwa iphila ngomculo nolimi. Isibonelo, uKarol Kurpinski, wagubha umzabalazo kazwelonke ngemisebenzi yakhe nomculo wakhe, aguqula abantu abadansa njenge-polonaise neMazurka ezifanekisweni zezwe.
Ulimi futhi lwadlala indima ebalulekile ekwakheni imizwa yezwe. Ngemuva kokusebenza kwaseRussia, ulimi lwesiPolish lwaphoqelelwa ezikoleni nolimi lwaseRussia kwabekwa yonke indawo. Ngo-1831, ukuvukela okuhlomile okuhlomile ngokubusa kwaRussia kwenzeka ekugcineni kwachotshozwa. Ukulandela lokhu, amalungu amaningi abefundisi ePoland aqala ukusebenzisa ulimi njengesikhali sokumelana nezwe. IsiPolish sasetshenziselwa imibuthano yesonto nayo yonke imiyalo yenkolo. Ngenxa yalokho, inani elikhulu labaphristi kanye nababhishobhi bafakwa ejele noma bathunyelwa eSiberia ngabaphathi baseRussia njengesijeziso sokwenqaba kwabo ukushumayela ngesiRussia. Ukusetshenziswa kwesiPolish kwabonakala njengophawu lomzabalazo wokulwa nobukhosi baseRussia.
