Interrogative pronouns in Nawuhu are quite distinct from demonstrative and personal pronouns. They do not agree with grammatical number, and instead mostly follow the English pattern of "what, why, who, when and how", although "when" has variations based on tense. | Interrogative pronouns in Nawuhu are quite distinct from demonstrative and personal pronouns.
