Banten Sundanese orBantenese (Basa Sunda Banten orBasa Wewengkon Banten) is one of the Sundanese dialects spoken predominantly by theBantenese — an indigenous ethnic group native toBanten — in the westernmost region of the island ofJava, and in the westernBogor Regency (especially in Jasinga,[2] the districts of Cigudeg, Tenjo, Nanggung, Parungpanjang, and Sukajaya; known asJasinga Sundanese),[3] as well as the northwestern parts ofSukabumi Regency. A variety of Bantenese is spoken by theCiptagelar people in theKasepuhan Ciptagelar traditional community in the Cisolok district and theKasepuhan Banten Kidul traditional community in the Lebak Regency.[4]
The regional government of Banten is currently making a significant approach to preserve this dialect through a news program entitledBeja ti Lembur, which was aired by the regional CTV Banten network in Bantenese.[5]
Unlike most other language varieties inJava, Bantenese does not employsociolinguistic register,[6] unlike the Priangan dialect spoken in theParahyangan region.
