Sundanese is an ethnic and a language for people who live in west of Java land, Indonesia. It is a second largest ethnic in Indonesia after Javanese. It has lots of culture. It has unique tradition, traditional dances, clothes, games, house, tools, music, instrumental music, legend, poem, and so on different than others.

Now, I am going to tell you about one of it. It is a story making by a vowel. Only one vowel...It is a unique passage, isn’t it ? I think I’ve never found it before, even in English or Indonesian. It will so hard to make a story or a passage with only one vowel. I guess it is impossible to make it in others language even you have two vowels maybe, but in Sundanese you will be able to make it with only a vowel. Please tell me if you find it in your own language. Heehee !!! Here I will show you the story......
