The Mätro dialect of the nDrapa language (Qiangic) contains both an evidential system and evidential-like categories. The evidential system distinguishes between direct, inferred and reported evidentials. The direct evidential is unmarked, but the others are marked with sentence-final particles. Evidential-like categories include the point-of-view system or the conjunct/disjunct system marked with disjunct markers, and the epistemic modality system marked with sentence-final particles. The point-of-view system often shows an evidential-like connotation and restrictions of person, although it is neither evidential nor person-marking by nature.
