Balinese...
"Balinese is spoken by about 3 million people on Bali and in
nearby areas of southeastern Java.   Bali, a small mountainous
island about 90 miles long and half as wide, is significant as a
continuation of many pre-Isl_mic features of Javanese culture.
The predominantly Hindu Balinese speak an Indonesian Malayo-
Polynesian tongue, closely related to Sasak, which is spoken on
the eastern Bali coast and on neighboring Lombok Island."
