Background

The development of every language, especially a foreign language has been influencing the usage of mother tongue language. As we have already known that every language has its own rules of language.

Indonesia has kinds of languages. Each province or region has their own language. But, Indonesian people have a national language i.e. Indonesian language. One of languages is Sundanese language. This language spread in West Java and Banten province. Then, every area has different meaning for some words. For example: pantog or mantog, (means leave/go away in Bandung but means hit one's head in Banten).

In Sundanese language, there are also rules of the usage of the language. The rules cover all grammatical and phonological terms. This paper tries to explain the phonology of the nasalized verbal in Sundanese language. From the root, we can compose a verbal by using nasalization.
