..is the national language, based on the Malaysian language group, that was developed during the Independance struggle (and is still developing) so that all the different language troups included within the Republic of Indonesia could communicate with each other. Bahasa Bali (Bhasa Bali) is the indigenous language of Bali, and has 5 leevels of speech (although the most low and most high are very specialized) and while it loosely belongs to the same Language family as Malaysian it remains a seperate language with it's own script, literature, and apart idiom. So, to answer your question: no.
