It is interesting to note that three of the women tested have
traveled outside their village. One lived in Karachi for five years,
one lived near Karachi for a year, and one lived in Rawalpindi
for three months. The other six women have not traveled outside
the area. Nevertheless, the outside travel/living of the three
women does not seem to have caused them to perform better on
the Urdu SRT than the untraveled women. It is probable that the
time spent outside their village was spent with others with whom
they could communicate in Hindko or that for some other reason
they had no need to speak Urdu or any other language of wider
communication.
