ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENCES IN THE USE OF SUNDANE LANGUAGE DIALECTS IN TENJOLAYA DISTRICT AND CIGUDEG DISTRICT, BOGOR REGENCY: A PHONOLOGICAL STUDY

Abstract

This research explores the differences in the use of Sundanese dialects in Tenjolaya District and Cigudeg District, Bogor Regency. The study focuses on variations in phonology, vocabulary, and how speakers in both areas use Sundanese in their daily interactions. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method through direct observation and interviews with several Sundanese speakers in the region. The findings reveal that speakers in Tenjolaya tend to use a smoother dialect that is closer to the standard form of Sundanese, while speakers in Cigudeg use a rougher dialect with vocabulary variations shaped by their local social and cultural environment. These results show that dialect differences can arise due to geographical factors, social conditions, and the language practices of the communities in each area.
