Balinese language
Balinese or simply Bali is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by 3.3 million people () on the Indonesian island of Bali, as well as northern Nusa Penida, western Lombok and eastern Java.〔Ethnologue.〕 Most Balinese speakers also know Indonesian.
In 2011, the Bali Cultural Agency estimates that the number of people still using Balinese language in their daily lives on the Bali Island does not exceed 1 million, as in urban areas their parents only introduce Indonesian language or even English, while daily conversations in the institutions and the mass media have disappeared. The written form of the Balinese language is increasingly unfamiliar and most Balinese people use the Balinese language only as a spoken tool with mixing of Indonesian language in their daily conversation. But in the transmigration areas outside Bali Island, Balinese language is extensively used and believed to play an important role in the survival of the language.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Balinese language ‘will never die’ )〕
The higher registers of the language borrow extensively from Javanese: an old form of classical Javanese, Kawi, is used in Bali as a religious and ceremonial language.
