Опубликовано в: A. Ambarwati et al. (eds.), Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Language, Literature, and Cultural Education (ICON-LLCE 2023), Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research 796. — p. 195-203.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 set-ting that is considered grammatical. The observation method is used to collect the data along with the recording, besides the interview, to get valid data. Mean-while, the analysis method used is the distribution method using permutation, deletion, and substitution. The result shows that the introductory sentence oper-ates 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 struc-ture in the Haloban Language, from the causative constructions and application construction (transitivizing) and passivization (intransitivity), it is found that cau-sality is done by making use of suffix {-i} and prefix {pa-} which is used to derive transitive from intransitive verbs and the nonverbal categories. Mean-while, the application makes use of the suffix {-ken}. On the other hand, pas-sivation in the Haloban Language is done by fronting the object of actives before predicates (verbs) and prefixing the verbs with {ni-}
