The Bantenese (Indonesian: Orang Banten/Orang Sunda Banten; Sundanese: ᮅᮛᮀ ᮘᮔ᮪ᮒᮨᮔ᮪/ᮅᮛᮀ ᮞᮥᮔ᮪ᮓ ᮘᮔ᮪ᮒᮨᮔ᮪, romanized: Urang Banten/Urang Sunda Banten) are an Austronesian ethnic group native to Banten in the westernmost part of Java island, Indonesia. The area of Banten province corresponds more or less with the area of the former Banten Sultanate, a Bantenese nation state that preceded Indonesia.[3] In his book "The Sultanate of Banten", Guillot Claude writes on page 35: “These estates, owned by the Bantenese of Chinese descent, were concentrated around the village of Kelapadua.”[4] Most of Bantenese are Sunni Muslim. The Bantenese speak the Sundanese-Banten dialect, a variety of the Sundanese language which does not have a general linguistic register, this language is called Basa Sunda Banten (Sundanese language of Banten).
