is the study of the internal structure of a word and the processes involved in its formation. Morphology is divided into two branches, namely: a) inflectional morphology, which deals with various grammatical forms of the word and, b) lexical morphology which deals with formation of new lexemes from different bases within the language. This study discussed lexical morphology of Lala by analysing the morphophonological and morphosyntactic processes involved in word formation in Lala language. Greenberg (1955) classified the African languages using genealogical method based on morphosemantic similarities. These Languages were classified in four language families as; Afro Asiatic, Congo Kordofanian, Nile-Sahara and Hoisin. Congo-Kordofanian was subdivided into branches. Bantu languages were placed in Niger-Congo branch of Congo-Kordofanian
