language work and the development (change) of languages in the world. In this connection, the

3. Sundanese is used throughout West Java, Sundanese also experiences differences between one
region and another, for example Sundanese Bandung is different from Sundanese Banten seen
from its dialect, some of its vocabulary and others. Sundanese is indeed still very widely used by
the people, but it is undeniable that the erosion of language also has a slightly disturbing effect in
Sundanese, as mentioned above, social factors also add to the factors that have been described.
The association of young people who adheres to slank language greatly underestimates the local
language, because for them when they use regional languages, they are said to be tacky, tacky and
not slang. Young souls are still unstable, causing many of these young people to switch from local
languages to slank languages.
Sundanese and Betawi languages have a kinship in their language. Example of the word Tuman.
In the Betawi language: "et dah lo tuman really really become a person, semaunye aje food your
people try it." (You really are a habit, so all of the food that you taste).
In Sundanese: "ah urang mah moal is blaming maneh, maneh mah tuman jelemana and it is
difficult to overcome." (Ah, I don't want to tell you, you're a habitual person who is hard to
handle).
In addition there are words such as split: ngabeulah (Sundanese), ngebelah (Betawi language),
smoke: haseup (Sundanese language), asep (Betawi language).
            In the example sentence above, the word Tuman has similarities between Betawi and
Sundanese, the similarity of words and their meanings. In the words Smoke and Belah also have
the same meaning but slightly different phoneme form.
            This confirms that the Betawi and Sundanese languages have kinship or cognate. This is
indeed undeniable because in ancient times Jakarta whose name was Sundanese coconut. Well in
ancient times, maybe a lot of people from Sunda were forced to work in Jakarta in the times of the
Company and they communicated in Sundanese, then for a long time experienced changes with
the Betawi language absorbing many languages from the times of the Company and the amount of
urbanization as time goes by . In addition, the Betawi language with Sundanese in the
Austronesian language scope does not rule out the possibility that there are several languages that
have similarities in their vocabulary, although in different morpheme forms.
