summaryEpistemic information is split in three paradigms in Siriono, a Tupi-Guarani language spoken in Bolivia: the source of information; the commitment of the speaker; the difference between the facts and the expectation of the speaker or the hearer. A description of the markers expressing this information is necessary due to the high frequency of these morphemes and their connection with other aspects of the language. This also leads to describe in more details sentence types in Siriono.
