Hi there indonesian..nowadays foreign language become a necessary subject to learn, especially english. we try to encourage ourself or our family member to learn it by taking some courses. But do you know about your mother language? can you speak fluently? do you use it instead our national language? i think we shouldn't abandon our mother/traditional language. i'm sundanese, and i can speak it fluently =D what about you?

Hi emediloy, i agree with your opinion.
My answer, Yes, I do. i speak fluently both of mother language and traditional language. I am Sundanese also. By the way, Sundanese is difficult pronounce "F,V,P".
Do you have problem with it? i have it ..hehe .. it's make me embarrassed when i talk. I think my pronunciation is true.
anyway, as Sundanese, i can say " That is "Pitnah", who says Sundanese can't say 'F' ?
