Sundanese refers to an Austronesian ethnic group native to West Java and Banten in Indonesia, as well as the language they speak. They are Indonesia’s second-largest ethnic group, with a population estimated between 32 and 42 million.

Key characteristics include:

• Religion: The community is predominantly Sunni Muslim (approximately 99.85%), with very small minorities of Christians and those practicing traditional beliefs like Sunda Wiwitan.
• Language: The Sundanese language (Basa Sunda) is the second most widely spoken regional language in Indonesia, spoken by roughly 36 to 42 million people.
• It uses the Latin alphabet in modern contexts and features distinct social registers.
• Culture: Sundanese culture is noted for being more egalitarian and less hierarchical than Javanese culture, with a strong emphasis on community, agriculture (particularly rice cultivation), and traditional arts like wayang golek puppetry and angklung music.
• History: They are of Austronesian origin, believed to have migrated from Taiwan through the Philippines to Java between 1500 BC and 1000 BC, and established historic kingdoms such as Tarumanagara and Pajajaran.
