I have removed the word 'harsh' in the introductory section, but left it in the later discussion of language. I can see that it may be a translation into English of an Indonesian or Sundanese word that corresponds to 'informal.' However, in English it suggests a value judgment corresponding to 'ugly' or 'uncivilized,' and should either be explained as a native (rather than analytical) term, or avoided.

I do not see that Banten Javanese (or Serang Javanese) is equal to Banyumasan. The reference from ethnologue also does not mention about it. In fact, Banten Javanese is a dialect of Javanese on its own. Kembangraps ( talk) 07:04, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
