  • This study intends to reveal the identity struggle of Cirebon against the domination of Sundanese through language. It aims to track strategy that used in showing its existence. This study has two missions. First is to know how the domination of Sundanese towards Cirebon lasted this far. Second is how Cirebon language is used as an instrument to fight the domination of Sundanese. This study took a place in Municipality and Regency of Cirebon as location of study. Municipality and Regency of Cirebon are two regions in territory of West Java. So far, West Java is often identified with Sundanese who indeed become its majority tribe. Unlike Cirebon which does not include neither Sundanese nor Javanese. Geographically Cirebon located in the border of West Java a nd Central Java that make Cirebon having its own uniqueness and often called themselves as wong Cerbon (Cirebon people). On the other hand, the difference identity of Cirebon with Sundanese often creates negative labeling by Sundanese to Cirebon. As result Cirebon society often become marginalized society in West Java. Therefore, there is a resistance effort performed by Cirebon to fight the domination of Sundanese. Language becomes a tool of resistance for Cirebon to fight that domination. In addition, edu cation domain becomes arena for power struggle. The result is the domination of Sundanese that lasted this far is done by using Conservation strategy through language which is played in education domain by introducing curriculum of Sundanese language into schools. That strategy has been done for so long since Dutch colonial government until present. The similar thing is done by Cirebon to perform resistance by using Succession and Subversion strategies in order to gain the same chance in power struggle.
