/pa/ → /ɸa/ → /wa/

From Old Japanese. Used in the oldest Japanese writings, including the Man'yōshū finished some time after 759 CE. Ultimately from Proto-Japonic *pa.

The particle was excluded from the post-war script reform, rather than changed to わ (wa), which would be more phonetically accurate.

භාවිත සටහන්

• Note that English has no direct counterpart. For illustrative purposes, it may be translated as "as for", "speaking of", or a similar phrase. For example, "As for this, it is a dog". This often does not produce very natural English, however.
• When inserted between two verbs for emphasis, は is usually used with negatives and after a て (te) form. This has given rise to ではない (de wa nai), the now standard negative form of だ (da).
• も (mo) vs は (ha): see も (mo).
• は always replaces を (o) and が (ga), but may follow other particles.

• では (de wa, “then, well then, in that case”)
