#REDIRECT Sundanese language
Sundanese (Basa Sunda, literally "language of Sunda") is the language of about 27,000,000 people from the western third of Java (island) or about 15% of Indonesia population. It is classified in Austronesian - Malayo-Polynesian - Western Malayo-Polynesian - Sundic language family and has several dialects based on the locations of the people: *Banten, *Bogor, *Priangan, and *Cirebon. Priangan, which cover the most area of Sunda, is the main dialect of Sundanese language taught in elementary till junior-high schools (equivalent to ninth-year school grade). ==Phonology== Currently, Sundanese is written in Latin alphabet and is highly phonetical. There are five pure vowel sounds: a (similar to the sound in ''bus''), e (as in ''get''), i (shorter than in ''eat''), o (shorter than in ''dawn''), u (as in ''put''), and two neutral vowels like the second vowel of ''water'' which is also spelled ''e'', and ''eu'' (as 'eau' in plateau); and no diphthong. The consonantic phonemes are rendered by the letters p, b, t, d, k, g, c (pronounced like the ''ch'' in ''cheese''), j, h, ng (which also occurs initially), ny (as in ''canyon''), m, n, s (unvoiced, as in ''sun'' or ''cats''), w, l, r (trilled or flapped) and y. Other consonants that originally appear in Indonesian loanwords mostly transferred into main consonants: f -> p, v -> p, sy -> s, sh -> s, z -> j, and kh (as in ''loch'') -> h. ==Basic grammar== (to be written). ===Root word=== (to be written). ===Active form=== (to be written). ===Negation=== (to be written). ===Question=== (to be written). ===Passive form=== (to be written). ===Adjectives=== (to be written). ===Prepositions=== ====Place====

Sundanese is not an official language anywhere. It is however recognised as a regional language in most of West Java and Banten. It is therefore also taught in schools.
