Not to be confused with Sudanese
Sundanese (Basa Sunda, literally "language of Sunda") is the language of about 27 million people from the western third of Java or about 15% of the Indonesian population.
It appears to be most closely related to Madurese and Malay, and more distantly related to Javanese. It has several dialects, conventionally described according to the locations of the people:
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).
Currently, Sundanese is written in the Latin script and its orthography is highly phonetic (see also Sundanese script). There are five pure vowel sounds: a (/ɑ/), é (/ɛ/), i (/i/), o (/ɔ/), u (/ʊ/), and two neutral vowels; e (/ə/), and eu (/ɤ/). The consonantal phonemes (18 - but see below) are rendered by the letters p, b, t, d, k, g, c (pronounced as /tʃ/), j, h, ng (which also occurs initially), ny (/ɳ/), m, n, s (/s/), 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 (/x/) -><i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=294057 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
