Abstract
Marking is a universal linguistic phenomenon. Marking is the giving of a marker either free or bound, either in front or back on a morphological form. The Dialect of Lamalera (DL) is one of 35 dialects in the Lamaholot Language family. The Lamalera dialect has apronominal marker attached either to the front in a number of certain categories of words or back in other categories. Interestingly, the DL is almost entirely in all categories of words. Provision of markers on anumber of categories triggers conformity to the word category often referred to as agreement verbs, personal clitics, subject markers, personal (prefixes, suffixes), agreement markers, or subject verb agreements. This paper will only examine the alignment in the DL with out comparing it with dialect or other languages cross language.

Summary
Marking is a universal linguistic phenomenon. Marking is not artificial but natural [1, 5]. Marking is the giving of a marker either free or bound, either in front or back on a lingual form. Marking is a morphological event in the syntactic process [25]. This means giving a mark up to a word that becomes the basic syntax constituent. Marking in each language is very unique and diverse. Marking becomes a marker of basic inter connected relational relationships in a sentence series. Each language has a peculiarity to express the grammatical relationship between constituents and expresses the difference between one relation to another in a clause [19]. Lamalera Dialect can mark all categories of words. To represent grammatical relations, not all syntactic categories get markers as core constituents
