Evidentiality in a broad sense, including reported evidentials, inferentials, miratives, quotatives and delocutives in Hindi is represented by evidential strategies or non-grammaticalized modes of expression of evidential semantics merged with some other grammatical categories. Hindi evidentials are represented morphologically (inferentials marked by moods), syntactically (mirativity) and lexically (delocutives).
