 Because of its temporal coincidence with the French revolution, the song was also nicknamed by J. W. Tyndale and other scholars like Auguste Boullier as "the Sardinian Marseillaise".Long regarded as a national anthem in Sardinian culture, "Su patriotu sardu a sos feudatarios" has been officially recognized as the island's anthem in 2018.The anthem is a poetry written in octave with a metrical pattern of "a bb cc dd e", and its content resounds with typical Enlightenment themes.
