Abstract: This paper examines the use of Balinese (BB) in the most recent Balinese community on the island of Lombok. This research was conducted based on the phenomenon of the decline in the use of regional languages as the first language eroded due to the intensive use of second languages. Determination of the research subject used purposive sampling technique and the informant was determined by sowball sampling with the amount based on the saturation point limit. In the data collection used questionnaire and interview techniques, then processed with quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results show that the average BB usage in Lombok, both in the family and outside the home (community) for the elderly and young people in the village, still stands at 74.9%, in homogeneous cities 54.5%, and hiterogin cities 16%. That is, the use of BB in Lombok experiences a process of insecurity compared to its use in villages with cities more or less in the hiterogin area. However, the reality of the current use of BB in Lombok in the activities of religious ceremonies, traditional ceremonies, arts and culture, and among Hindu mass organizations on average reaches 63.3%.
