once lived in the Lahore area for six months. Surprisingly,
though, it was a woman above fifty who had four years of
education many years ago and who has never traveled even as far
as Mansehra who scored 100 percent on the Panjabi RTT. This
fragmentary evidence, including the rather low (less than 10)
standard deviations in the scores, seems to suggest that Hindko
has a fair amount of inherent intelligibility with Panjabi, based
on close genetic relationship, quite apart from any
comprehension derived from contact.
