Everything You Need To Learn Sundanese

Sundanese is an Austronesian language, mostly spoken in the western part of Java (Indonesia). With around 40 million speakers, it’s one of the major languages spoken on this island.

Sundanese is closely related to Javanese, Madurese and Malay, and there is some degree of mutual intelligibility with all of them.

The language is written in both the Latin script and the Sundanese script (Aksara Sunda) which is a descendant of the Brahmi script.

Sadly, learning materials for Sundanese are almost nonexistent, despite the relatively vast number of speakers. Below is everything we could find in the language.
