Balinese is the language spoken by about 3.9 million people in Bali province and the surrounding areas. While it shares similarities with Indonesian grammar, Balinese also has its own distinct vocabulary, honorific forms, and influences from Balinese Hindu culture. However, the use of Balinese has declined with the rise of Indonesian as the national language and an influx of migrants who do not speak it. New opportunities online and in education aim to preserve Balinese language and culture for future generations.
