A Language of Truth is a language or form of communication in which lies are inherently impossible or inexpressible. This is a frequent feature of Telepathy, but it can also appear for more overt languages, and is commonly associated with Languages Of Magic. Often the Big Bad, or villains in general, will be exempt from this requirement. Effort to make a Real Life Language of Truth can not work - not if you want it to be able to express every true statement. Consider: Is this statement true, or is it false? Examples of Language of Truth include:
