On March 14th of this year 2021, Nyepi was celebrated. Nyepi is a Balinese “Day of Silence” or ” Day of Nothing” that is happens every Isakawarsa (Saka new year). It is a day with prayers, Hindu religious rituals, and fasting. But since we are in the USA and it is not 3/14, we have to do NOT nothing. So, we made this web posting about the language of Bali. And since Ezra did not have fun celebrating his birthday in Bali, he decided to study the other language that Balinese eliminated in the first round – Bemba – back from the dead.
