Abstract

Language is studied by humans differently based on the environment in which they are located, so that languages around the world are very diverse. This is because culture, condition, geography, and nature are different between one group of human beings and the others from one place to anothercommunity. Itis known in SindangJawa Cirebon Village that the society in RW 1 (KampungPontas) alongwith RW 2, 3, 4, and 5, agreed to express the real reason why people from KampungPontas who use Javanese language astheir mother language have difficulty in using Sundanese , unlike those in RW 2, 3, 4, and 5 that are generally fluent in Javanese. In the opinion of both people said that the words in Sundanese often use the phoneme "eu", which makes people said Pontas that in fact the Javanese become lazy and difficult in usingSundanese language. The researcher concluded that the lackof ability in these two language skills ultimately influenced the level of bilingual and multilingual capabilities of the community in Pontas Village.
