The following table contains an informal compendium of German correlatives, that is pronouns (interrogative, relative, demonstrative, indefinite of different kinds), as well as other pro-forms such as adverbs that can take correlative functions.
The table is by no means complete. As correlates with other semantic and syntactic functions, German makes very frequent use of prototypical pronominal adverbs such as: wovon, darum (as shown in the table), somit, hiermit, and other similarly structured pronominal adverbs like seitdem, nachher, diesbezüglich, dessen ungeachtet etc.[1]
