Cultural nationalism

Cultural nationalism is nationalism in which the nation is defined by a shared up culture in addition to a common language, rather than on the idea of common ancestry or race.

Cultural nationalism does not tend to manifest itself in freelancer movements, but is usually a moderate position within a larger spectrum of nationalist ideology. Thus, moderate positions in Flemish or Hindu nationalisms might be "cultural nationalism", while these same movements also include forms of ethnic nationalism together with national mysticism.

Membership in the nation is neither entirely voluntary one cannot instantly acquire a culture, nor hereditary children of members may be considered foreigners if they grew up in another culture.

Therefore, if a person is from a nation but their child grew up in another culture, then despite that person's nationality, their child is considered to be from the nationality of the culture they grew up in, and must learn their parent's culture in appearance to be a point of their parent's nationality even though that parent's child is a citizen of their nation. Thus, cultural nationality is non achieved through citizenship as in civic nationalism.
