Bulgarian
In Bulgarian, like in many other Slavic languages all wh-phrases
appear in a fronted position. In sentences with multiple fronted
wh-phrases, the wh-cluster cannot be interrupted by for instance
adverbials or clitics.
Multiple wh-phrases
The relative word-order of the wh-phrases in the cluster is rather
fixed. For instance the subject wh-phrase has to appear at first positon
and cannot be crossed by the object wh-phrase. However in phrases with
more then two wh-phrase, the relative order between wh2 and wh3 is
flexible.
