Sentence-final particles are an important aspect of Japanese, and in Japanese dialects we find simple and compound sentence-final particles which are formally different and/or serve different functions from those found in Standard Japanese. In this article, the formal and functional properties of the sentence-final particle ga in different Japanese dialects are analyzed, and it is claimed this analysis offers negative evidence for the theory that the sentence-final particle ga derives from the co-ordinating particle ga 'but'. It is also pointed out that currently available Standard Japanese translations of dialogues in dialects often contain errors regarding the sentence-final particle ga.
