In this paper we analyze the Transylvania intonation which is different from the one of other Daco-Romanian idioms. Simultaneously, we aim to demonstrate that there is a prosodic boundary between Transylvania and Moldavia intonation; through a research of two villages situated on both sides of the Oriental Carpathians: Mureşenii Bârgăului (Transylvania) and Prăleni (Moldavia). The results of the research prove that there are large differences between the two areas concerning the melodic character of the total interrogative utterances.
