Sunda Java [cracked] -

Culturally, the line between "Sunda" and "Java" is sharp. It runs through the middle of the island, often marked by the Serayu mountain range. To the west, the pronunciation is flat and gentle ("Apa kabar?" sounds like a sigh). To the east (Central/East Java), the speech is staccato and hierarchical.

Java sits on the southern edge of the Sunda Plate (formerly part of the Eurasian Plate). To the south, the Australian Plate subducts beneath the Sunda Plate along the Sunda Trench (Java Trench). This subduction zone is responsible for the intense volcanic activity that built the island. sunda java
