Balinese language speaker

The Balinese language (basa Bali, Standard Balinese pronunciation: [basə ˈbali];
Indonesian: bahasa Bali) is an Austronesian language in the Malayo-Polynesian language branch. It is spoken on the Indonesian island of Bali, as well as Nusa Penida, Western Lombok, Eastern Java^[6] (especially Banyuwangi), Southern Sumatra, and Sulawesi.^[7] Most Balinese speakers also use Indonesian. The 2000 national census recorded 3.3 million people speakers of Balinese, however the Bali Cultural Agency estimated in 2011 that the number of people still using the Balinese language in their daily lives is under 1 million. The language has been classified as "not endangered" by Glottolog.^[4]

The higher registers of the language borrows extensively from Javanese: an old form of classical Javanese, Kawi, is used in Bali as a religious and ceremonial language. Balinese is the majority language in Tegaldlimo district [id] of Banyuwangi, East Java and some villages in Banyuwangi. It is also widely used in urban Sumbawa.
