Sundanese language in Depok
Depok is known as one of the areas with Betawi culture in West Java. This is due to the geographical location of Depok City, which is south of City of Jakarta, the center of Betawi culture, and also serves as Jakarta’s satellite city. In addition to the use of the Betawi language, there are also areas in Depok where the majority of the people speak Sundanese, namely Leuwinanggung sub-district in Tapos district, and several other districts whose people speak Sundanese language, like in Cimanggis and Cilodong.[1]
Sundanese as local content
Sundanese is local content in Depok. The determination of the Sundanese language as local content in Depok City sparked much debate. Many cultural figures and historians of Depok reject this, including Nur Mahmudi Ismail, who at the 5th Cultural Arts Festival in Depok proposed that Sundanese not be mandatory as local content. He also said that the city of Depok was included in the Betawi Malay zone, in accordance with regional regulation No. 5 of 2006, which divides West Java Province into three zones: the Betawi Malay zone, Priangan, and Jawa Sawareh (Jawareh).[2]
Usages
Apart from being local content in Depok City, Sundanese is also used in the daily life of the Sundanese people in Depok, although its use is relatively small compared to Indonesian and Betawi speakers. According to the 2010 Indonesian census, Sundanese is spoken by only 2.80% of the total population of Depok. Most Sundanese speakers are generally concentrated in the east of Depok, namely in Tapos district, especially Leuwinanggung sub-district.[3][4]
