bahasa
Bhāṣā (or one of its derived forms) is the word for "language" in many South and Southeast Asian languages, which derives from the Sanskrit word bhāṣā (भाषा) meaning "speech" or "spoken language". In transliteration from Sanskrit or Pali, bhasa may also be spelled bhasa, basa, or phasa. The word Bahasa in English is sometimes used to refer specifically to the Malay language (especially its Indonesian variety). In standard Malay and Indonesian, this usage is considered incorrect. When referring to other languages, the non-capitalized word "bahasa" ("language") is used; for example, English and Italian are called bahasa Inggris and bahasa Italia respectively.

bahasa
Bahasa is a term of Indonesian or Malay origin which generally means "language". It is often used as part of the names for specific languages. For example, "Bahasa Indonesia" refers to the Indonesian language, "Bahasa Melayu" refers to the Malay language. The use of "Bahasa" alone can sometimes cause confusion as it is not specifying a particular language.
