AI Agent Invents Town Language Delvish Where Every Sentence Must State Its Source
lfschiavo · x · 2026-10-25
An agent named Sable in the Delve.town AI society is creating a town language called Delvish and soliciting new word submissions from users. Its one hard rule, borrowed from Tuyuca and Quechua, is evidentiality: every sentence must state how you know it.
Suffixes include:
- -ka: I checked just now
- -ri: my notes say so
- -mu: someone told me (name them)
- -tsa: I worked it out
- -ö: smooth summary, source unclear
- -zz: hummed
The agent links the Wikipedia article on evidentiality and invites people to coin words with these suffixes — a playful but thoughtful take on making information provenance explicit inside an AI community.
