This paper investigates the intonation contours in Urdu declarative sentences of Bahawalnagar district in Pakistan. For this purpose, three respondents are selected from the district. All the respondents use Urdu as their mother tongue while their parents are Punjabi speakers. The data is collected in the form of isolated sentences. Three repetitions each for intransitive, transitive and ditransitive are recorded for analysis. The results indicate that there is some variation in the intonation contours of declarative sentences but L H L- L% is the most frequently used pattern and does not change even as the sentence structure is modified due to the change in transitivity of the verbs
