¡You are special!

the words for "what", "how", "why" etc. in Spanish are not used exclusively in questions, but... everywhere, so the opening question mark serves to indicate that those words that are of regular use, should be intonated in such a way that it sounds like a question

>the words for "what", "how", "why" etc.
Those aren't exclusive of question in English tho

yeah, I know, but "que, como, por que, etc." are way too common in Spanish
also, the explanation I got in highschools was that the intonation for a question in spanish does the most emphasis on the first couple of words of the question and english on the ending side of it
didn't feel quite right for me, but eh

*Por qué

I always thought it looks better. I still don't understand why the French leave a space before the ? tho.

Good thread

That's why we use diacritics. The problem is with long questions that don't use them.
