Talk:wh-question

1.) The etymology says "many of the adverbs", while the definition says it has to be a word with "wh". So is a question with "how", for example, a "wh-question" or not? (Of course, "how" is from Proto-Germanic *hwō, but that's beside the point; it simply doesn't begin in "wh".).

2.) German translation is W-Frage. 90.186.72.167 09:53, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

I am not a linguistics expert, but according to the English Wikipedia article "w:Question" it does appear that a question beginning with how is regarded as a wh-question: see "w:Question#By grammatical form". And thanks for the German translation; I've added it to the entry. — SGconlaw (talk) 10:04, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
