Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Indonesian, the official and national language of Indonesia, is a standardized variety of Malay and has long served as a lingua franca in the multilingual Indonesian archipelago. Indonesia, the fourth most populous country globally, has over 279 million people, the majority of whom speak Indonesian, making it one of the world's most widely spoken languages.

Sundanese is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by the Sundanese people, primarily in the western third of Java, Indonesia. With around 32 million native speakers, the Sundanese comprise roughly 15% of Indonesia's population. In Sundanese, "Tatakrama basa" refers to a system of language levels comprising Loma and Hormat. Loma is used among peers or familiar individuals, featuring vocabulary suited to informal settings. Hormat, on the other hand, is employed to show respect to those of higher status or unfamiliar individuals, incorporating formal vocabulary.

This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.
