Brebian Sundanese is the Sundanese language used by some people in Brebes Regency, Central Java, especially in the southern and southwestern parts of the region. The area of Brebes Regency is one of the districts in Central Java which borders the West Java region. In that region, especially in the southern part of Brebes, there is an intersection between two languages in Indonesia, namely the intersection of Javanese and Sundanese.[3]

Language areas[edit]

Areas with Sundanese speakers include the districts of Salem, Bantarkawung, Ketanggungan, Banjarharjo and several villages in Tanjung sub-district (Sarireja and Luwungbata), Larangan (Wlahar, Kamal and Pamulihan) and Kersana (Kradenan and Sindang Jaya) districts.[3][4][5]

Sundanese and Javanese are used together in several villages in Bumiayu (Pruwatan and Laren) sub-districts, Bantarkawung sub-districts (Cinanas, Cibentang, Karang Pari, Pangebat, and Bantarkawung), Ketanggungan District (Pamedaran, Baros, Kubangsari, Kubangjati, Dukuh Badag, and Kubangwungu), Banjarharjo (Banjarharjo, Cimunding, Ciawi, Tegalreja, and Banjar Lor), Losari District (Karang Junti and Babakan) and Kersana District (Kubangpari).[6]

Daily use[edit]

Sundanese speakers in Brebes Regency always use Sundanese as their daily language of instruction, both in the family environment and in the local community.[7] In everyday life, such as buying and selling at the market, religious lectures at mosques, and traditional ceremonies (marriage, circumcision, thanksgiving, earth alms). Even so, the Sundanese language in Brebes Regency is only used in the spoken mode, not in the written format and until now the language is still well preserved by the speaking community.[4]

An interesting habit that is carried out by some people in Losari, Banjarharjo, and several sub-districts in the South Brebes area is the tendency for people to do almost all their activities, such as going to school, seeking treatment, shopping, or other needs, more likely to do it to Ciledug District, namely the sub-district. which is in the east of Cirebon Regency rather than to the city of Brebes itself. This is because it is easier to get transportation to Ciledug than to Brebes. It is also influenced by the factor of the same language community which makes it easy to communicate and bond with one language.

Characteristics[edit]

The difference between Sundanese Brebes and Standard Sundanese is prominent in intonation and some vocabulary, while at the level of phrases and sentences there is no difference. At the phrase level, for example:

  • imah bapa = father's home
  • peti suluh = wood chest
  • budak bandel = brat
  • hayang héés/pineuh = want to sleep
  • ngakan/nyatu kéjo = eat rice
  • gedé kacida = hugh
  • jenuk/bera budak = many kids.

For example, the Brebes Sundanese sentence is:

  • Misah/ambih lulus ujian nyaneh kudu di ajar = in order to pass the exam you have to study
  • Iraha nyanéh mangkat = when are you going?
  • Naha nyanéh telat? = why are you late?
  • Mih, balik ti pasar = mother came home from the market
  • Kakak geus indit = brother/sister already left

Yang menarik adalah sebagian kosakata bahasa Sunda standar yang termasuk kosakata netral (tidak kasar dan juga tidak halus) di dalam bahasa Sunda Brebes selalu diaggap lebih halus. Misalnya, frasa;

  • Hayang sare/pineuh = ingin tidur
  • dahar sangu = makan nasi

In Sundanese Brebes is considered polite, even though in Standard Sundanese the two phrases mean neutral. The phrase that means wanting to sleep and eat rice in Brebes Sundanese is hayang héés and ngakan kéjo. In addition to "héés" to express the word "sleep", the word "pineuh" is also used in bantarkawung as its equivalent.[3]
