Population 320,000. From prehistoric times, Sumbawa has been inhabited by 2 linguistic groups who couldn't understand each other for centuries: the Sumbawa-speaking states to the west and the Bima-speaking clans of the east. The sultan has remained the ultimate civil and religious authority and Sumbawa is a very heavy Islamic island. Many of the women still cover their faces. The western part is a mixture of multiple cultures and customs. Mountaineer rustics live in distinct mountain villages in the interior of the western peninsula's foothills. You can see them come down to the more prosperous urban lowlands to trade their horseloads of woven mats and baskets. Male Sumbawans of the uplands carry large machete-like knives (berang), ornamented with carved dragons. Sumbawan men are skilled archers and still hold matches occasionally, firing their arrows into a target which moves along a high wire. The Dompu area is well known for its cloth worked with silver thread. Mock battles can be seen here with men wearing Arabic rolled turbans. Sumbawan orchestras, made up of drums and flutes, sound like bagpipes. Fine violins which sound similar in pitch to violas are made. Kulkus or long hollow drums are still used for sending messages.
