  Banten is a province of Indonesia, located at the western end of Java Island. 
Banten has an area of 9,160.7 km² and population of 9,083,114 (2005). The 
administrative capital city of the province is Serang. Culturally and 
historically Banten is a significant part of West Java Province. However 
administratively Banten has been a separate province since October 2000 through 
the Law Number 23/2000.
  History  Banten in the fifth century was part of Tarumanagara kingdom. A 
stone inscription, called Prasasti Cidanghiang, coming from Tarumanagara era 
can be found at Lebak area at the bank of Cidanghiang river, in Pandeglang 
Regency, Banten. The Prasasti Cidanghiang, found in 1947, contains 2 lines of 
poetic sentences in Sanskrit written in Pallava characters. The inscription 
proclaims Purnawarman as the standard for rulers around the world. [2]
   
  After Tarumanagara power declined, probably due to series of invasions from 
Srivijaya kingdom, all Tarumanagara territory, including Banten, was controlled 
by Kingdom of Sunda. Based on travel records of Prince Bujangga Manik, a Hindu 
Sundanese monk who visited all of the holy Hindu sites in Java Island and Bali 
Island at the beginning of the sixteenth century AD, in his lontar manuscripts, 
which are saved in Bodleian Library of Oxford University of England since the 
16th century, Banten was part of Kingdom of Sunda. [3]
   
  In this era of the Kingdom of Sunda, Banten became one of very important 
ports of the kingdom. Portuguese historical record tells that Kingdom of Sunda 
with great city of Dayo Pakuan Pajajaran (currently Bogor city), the town and 
lands and port of Banten, the port of Pontang, the port of Cigede, the port of 
Tangaram (Tangerang), the port of Sunda Kalapa, and the port of Cimanuk are 
justly governed. [4]
   
  In 1524/1525, Sunan Gunung Jati from Cirebon Sultanate (former vasal Kingdom 
of Sunda) together with Demak Sultanate armies seized port of Banten from the 
control of Kingdom of Sunda, and established Banten Sultanate affilialting to 
Demak Sultanate. Islam preachers have penetrated and introduced people the 
peaceful way of life of Islam and as result many people in the region embraced 
Islam as their belief.
   
  During 1552-1570, Maulana Hasanudin ruled as the first Sultan of Banten.
  Banten then become a part of West Java province in 1925 when Dutch Colonial 
established West Java province, the first province in Indonesia, referring to a 
statement from Staatblad number 378.
   
  In the present day, the area of Sultanate of Banten is a province. The 
province was established on 17 October 2000 through the Law Number 23/2000, but 
the peak of celebration to the establishment happened on 4 October 2000 when 
tens of thousands of citizen of Banten came to the People's Representative 
Council (DPR) building at South Jakarta, at the same time as the plenary 
meeting of the parliament to authenticate the law of forming the Province of 
Banten. Therefore the society of Banten mutually agree to set 4 October 2000 as 
day of the establishment of Banten Province.
  Culture  The indigenous people living in Banten Province speak a dialect 
derived from archaic Sundanese language. The dialect is classified as informal 
or harsh layer in modern Sundanese language, having different layers as 
Javanese language, which was created for the first time in the era of Islamic 
Mataram kingdom reigned Priangan (South Eastern of West Java Province). 
However, in Serang and Cilegon, Banyumasan language (hars layer of Javanese 
language) is also used by Banyumas and Javanese ethnic imigrants. And, in 
Northern part of Tangerang, Indonesian language with Betawi dialect is also 
used by Betawi imigrants. Besides Sundanese, Javanese and Betawi dialect, 
Indonesian language is also used especially by other ethnic imigrants from 
other parts of Indonesia.
