<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In some languages, all [[wh-element]]s in a [[multiple question]] must be fronted.<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
<br />
The following example is from [[Bulgarian]]:<br />
<br />
(i) Koj kogo kakvo e pital?<br />
who whom what asked-3SG<br />
'Who asked whom what?'<br />
<br />
Rudin (1988) has noted that in multiple wh-fronting languages can be divided into two classes. In languages like Bulgarian, the wh-elements act like a cluster, while in languages like Czech and Polish, there seems to be a break after the first wh-element: adverbs and clitics can appear between the first wh-element and the others.<br />
