Sensory evidential mood is a grammatical mood, or group of moods, found in some languages, that indicates the utterance is based on what the speaker has seen/heard with their own eyes/ears. In some languages having such moods, there are multiple sensory evidential moods, distinguished from one another based on what sense this sensory experience was from, e.g. sight v.s. hearing.
