| | The Sundanese |
 | | Despite this, the Sundanese are one of the least known people groups in the world. | | | Christianity, which came to the Sundanese in the mid-century had little effect outside of the small Sundanese Christian enclaves. | | | Unlike many people groups, there are no creation myths or records of other myths describing the origins of the Sundanese. |

| | The Sundanese are one of the largest ethnic populations in the world - about 35 million members. | | | However, what is unusual about our website is we are talking from the perspective of Christian Sundanese. | | | “Wait a minute,” you may say, “the Sundanese are Muslim people.” That’s right, but there are also about 15,000 Christian Sundanese. |

| | Although Sundanese religious practices share some of the HinduBuddhist beliefs of their Javanese neighbors--for example, the animistic beliefs in spirits and the emphasis on right thinking and self-control as a way of controlling those spirits--Sundanese courtly traditions differ from those of the Javanese. | | | As anthropologist Jessica Glicken observed, Islam is a particularly visible and audible presence in the life of the Sundanese. | | | Although there are many social, economic, and political similarities between the Javanese and Sundanese, differences abound. |
