Abstract

The Indonesian nation consists of hundreds of tribes. There is a traditional knowledge that stores information, values, and intelligence that is unique but universal. Knowledge of kinship is stored in the local language with the terms used by each tribe. Likewise, it applies to the Sundanese tribe. In the Sunda Priangan society, there is a term kinship called pancakaki. The purpose of this paper is to describe the term pancakaki found in the Sundanese Priangan society and describe the efforts of its affirmation in the nation’s cultural literacy. The data analysis followed literature studies from the perspective of ethnolinguistic studies. The results show that in the Sundanese Priangan society there are special levels and terms used in pancakaki or kinship relationships. These terms imply that there are special and widespread meanings that can be used regardless of territory. Furthermore, the term pancakaki in the level of literacy is inherited and preserved in educational efforts, which is accommodated into teaching materials in the local content curriculum. Thus, future generations indicate the unique relationship and the term of the Sundanese kinship as the pride and knowledge that holds the cultural wealth. Besides, the younger generation of Sunda continues to use the term pancakaki in their life.
