“…The basic verbal structure is a structure that uses a verb as a predicate, while the basic nonverbal structure is a structure that does not use a verb as a predicate. This phenomenon can be found in many languages worldwide [12], [13]. The data above shows that the basic structure of the BHL clauses can be transitive and intransitive verbs.…”

This article describes two important aspects of the Haloban Language, namely Syntax and Morphology. It tries to identify the language's introductory sentence and describes its marking system. The data of this article are taken from the utterances spoken by the speakers of the Haloban Language in a natural setting that is considered grammatical. The observation method is used to collect the data along with the recording, besides the interview, to get valid data. Meanwhile, the analysis method used is the distribution method using permutation, deletion, and substitution. The result shows that the introductory sentence operates SVO and VS(PRO)O word order with various predicates, which verbs and nonverbs can take. Based on the analysis of the revaluation of the sentence structure in the Haloban Language, from the causative constructions and application construction (transitivizing) and passivization (intransitivity), it is found that causality is done by making use of suffix {-i} and prefix {pa-} which is used to derive transitive from intransitive verbs and the nonverbal categories. Meanwhile, the application makes use of the suffix {-ken}. On the other hand, passivation in the Haloban Language is done by fronting the object of actives before predicates (verbs) and prefixing the verbs with {ni-}

“…From a morphological typological perspective, languages in the archipelago, such as Old Balinese, Old Javanese and Modern Balinese, are characterized by agglutination typology. One of the characteristics of agglutinative is that one word can be formed by more than one morpheme and the boundary between morphemes and words is clear (see Comrie, 1989;Lieber, 2010). However, when compared with Sanskrit, Balinese as well as Old Javanese are very contrastive languages.…”

Balinese has a communication system called Anggah-Ungguhing Basa (language levels). This language level coexists with the social stratification of society. Thus, the language activities of Balinese speakers are influenced by the social stratification of Balinese society. Social stratification and the Anggah-Ungguhing Basa system cause Balinese speakers to have various levels of language taste and variations in its use. In general, Anggah-Ungguhing Basa shows politeness in language. From linguistic studies, of course, such language signs need to be studied, especially regarding the grammatical processes of inherited elements in Balinese. The grammatical process that is the focus is the form and function of nasal affixes in the Balinese language. In this regard, it is very important to study the various grammaticalizations of the Balinese language further, so that these lexicons are appropriate to the language level in Bali. This research aims to thoroughly describe the inherited grammatical units in Modern Balinese. Normatively, these operational concepts are contained in the theory of comparative historical linguistics. Diachronically, the form of nasal affixes in Balinese can be traced. The affixes an-, am-, ang-, any- in Old Javanese are partly reflected in Old Balinese. The changes in each form are the basic morpheme to which it is attached. The basic morpheme begins with the phoneme bilabial, so the appropriate nasal affix is nasal bilabial. This process is called homorganization. In formal texts and traditional Balinese literary works, the affixes an-, am-, ang-, any- are still used. However, in Balinese Lumrah it changes to n-, m-, ny-, ng-.

“…[2] Comrie divides it into three categories: formal commonality and substantive commonality, containing commonality and non-inclusion commonality, absolute commonality and inclination. [3] There are usually four root causes of language commonality: natural ability, pragmatic function, cognitive psychology and diachronic development. [4] For the latter Bybee believes that diachronic commonality is the law of linguistic evolution, which determines both the possibility of evolution and the directionality.…”

Linguistic universality is prevalent in all languages, and its sources are mainly natural ability, pragmatic function, cognitive psychology, diachronic development and language contact. The commonality of language can be divided into three categories: common language, kinship language and regional linguistic commonality. Based on the linguistic generality theory, this paper analyzes the five main ways of regional linguistic common features formation through the analysis of regional linguistic structure and social function variation.
