An ethnic group that lives mainly in Western Java. They speak Sundanese, which belongs to the Indonesian branch of the Austronesian language family, and have an estimated population of about 25.85 million. Some also live in Central Java and southern Sumatra. They depend mostly on agriculture for their livelihood, cultivating rice using rain-fed and irrigated fields, as well as corn. They also practice slash-and-burn agriculture. Their villages are generally larger than those of the Javanese, and several families live in scattered clusters. They are of bilateral descent, and the basic kinship group is the nuclear family, with relatives helping each other in daily life. At the top, kinship groups are oriented toward ancestors. Polygamy is rare, and they often live with the parents of the husband or wife. Most are Muslim, and are generally more devout than the Javanese.
