Every region’s language and dialect have a main influence on the formation of the people’s worldview and identity, but recently these languages and dialects have been left and ignorance endangered for reasons such as the effect of the standard language and inattention of the native speakers. Therefore, the purpose of this essay presentation is to register and reserve one of these endangered local varieties. In the present study, agreement and case categories as two main elements of morphological alignment typology in the Khorramabad Lori language were surveyed. The method included preparing a 340 sentences questionnaire, interviewing 3 native speakers, registering, recording, transcribing, describing, and analyzing dialectal data, and at the end, eliciting grammatical patterns of the case and agreement categories in this language. Findings revealed that it is a nominative-accusative pattern for agreement and case categories in Lori. Finally, it was deduced that the typological system of morphological alignment is nominative-accusative consistently in the Khorramabad Lori language.

Khorramabad Lori language is one of the languages of southwest of Iran and like other languages it has its own grammatical and typological features. Today, because of the effect of Persian on Lori, as an endangered language, it goes to disappear and this requires linguistic analysis of this topic with the goal of formulating the grammatical rules governing that. Thus, this article addresses the components of word order in this language. The method includes preparing a questionnaire, interviewing with native speakers, transcribing the gathered data and typological analysis of this language. In order to analyze data, the order and sequence of words were tested in according to components of Dryer’s word order pattern by providing dialectic samples. The investigations reveal that for example adposition comes in the form of preposition; and relative clause, noun, attributive verb, verb and main verb come after nominal head, genitive, predicate, adverb of manner and auxiliary verb respectively. At result, tendency of this language is on strong verb initial. Also, this language acts like Persian in terms of the component of word order.
