Banten Sundanese

Banten Sundanese or Bantenese (Basa Sunda Banten or Basa Wewengkon Banten) is one of the Sundanese dialects spoken predominantly by the Bantenese — an indigenous ethnic group native to Banten — in the westernmost region of the island of Java, and in the western Bogor Regency (especially in Greater Jasinga, covering the districts of Jasinga, Cigudeg, Tenjo, Nanggung, Parung Panjang, and Sukajaya; known as Jasinga Sundanese), as well as the northwestern part of Sukabumi Regency. A variety of Bantenese is spoken by the Ciptagelar people in the Kasepuhan Ciptagelar traditional community in Cisolok district and the Kasepuhan Banten Kidul traditional community in Lebak Regency. The regional government of Banten is currently making a significant approach to preserve this dialect through a news program entitled Beja ti Lembur, which was aired by the regional CTV Banten network in Bantenese.
