However, it's important to note that Bali has a complex linguistic landscape:
* Indonesian is the official language of Indonesia and is widely understood in Bali, particularly in urban areas and for official purposes.
* Bahasa Indonesia is the standard Indonesian language, used in education, government, and media.
* English is commonly spoken, especially in tourist areas and among younger generations.
* Other regional languages may be spoken in certain areas, such as Javanese, Sundanese, and Sasak.
Therefore, while Balinese is the dominant language, Indonesian is the language of wider communication and English is becoming increasingly prevalent.
