Language of title: English

Description: The article examines the nature and function of rhythm in Newari based on a portion of data representing author's speech, as the author is a native speaker of the language. The author has selected a short story called 'The North Wind and the Sun' for its narrative content and translated it into Standard Newari. It has been analyzed in regard to pitch levels. The article collects a small corpus of sample utterances which may not have yielded "significant generalizations" on the boarder patterns of usage but would be very useful for extensive work to capture the inherent complexities of Newari speech.
