I find it odd that Wikipedia has been listing Baduy as a separate language from Sundanese for quite sometime. Now that I looked into it, it seems that the classification adheres to a very weak source, which is a Christian mission organisation, whose classifications of languages, as it seems to me, are designed to make it more convenient for them execute their mission, which is to preach Christianity. This convenience comes before everything else, including history and mutual inteligibility. For example, the Sundanese of Parean and Lelea, both by claimed history and inteligibility, are far more removed than the Baduy from other Sundanese groups. Yet, they are classified as the same language. Kindly consult contemporary work by local scientists. For example, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia has been sending publishing studies on the Baduy Dalam dialect since the late 2015s (try "Eri Kurniawan" and "Baduy" as starting keywords). Their works consistently classify the Baduy dialects as part of the Sundanese language and the Kanekes as part of the Sundanese people as a whole. If you speak Sundanese yourself, of any popular variety, you will find it easier to understand and communicate with a Baduy than a Parean or Lelea.
