(Normally, though, the complementizer would be omitted in Lwaitel.)

I know that this is the house that Jack made.

Are you learning a new language?

Thread, Post

(Using "another" here because I think using the word for "new" would imply that the language itself is new...)

What language are you learning?

(Question words affect inverse marking.)

(Also the word order is fairly free, but the question word (lau, pikúni) tends to go near the beginning of the sentence. And both have a rising intonation to indicate that they're questions.)
