Summary:This article deals with the origin of the dative-accusative marker xa in Gan-Qing dialects. After checking two main ideas about the origin of xa in the literature, we propose the hypothesis that xa came from the Chinese locative postposition ɕia 下 and in contact with Tibetan, it was first used as a dative marker and can mark some “objects”. Then xa was further extended to the accusative, leading to a dative-accusative syncretism that cannot be found in either Tibetan or Altaic languages. In the case marking systems of Gan-Qing dialects, xa emerged in the earlier contact with Tibetan, while ablative and instrumental markers are the product of the later contact with Altaic languages.
