I learned English which language was easy
Hi teachers!
Today I have a couple of questions regarding 'commas" in relative clause.
First I wonder if #1 is grammatical.
1. I learned English which language was easy. (?)
2. I learned English, which language was eady. (0)
Secondly, I want to know whether we should put "comma" or not in 'of which' clauses.
3. I have a chair of which a (the?) leg is broken. (?)
4. I have a chair a (the?) leg of which is broken.
Thirdly, is it ok and ususl to put "of whom" instead of 'whose'?
5. I know Jane whose hair is long. (0)
6. I know Jane hair of whom is long. (?)
7. I know Jane of whom hair is long.
Those questios have struggled me so long. All grammar books (by Korean authors) explain differently.
This time I really want to make these clear. Please make me enlightened teachers!
Many many many thanks.

(1) does not read correctly. (2) is theoretically possible in a formal literary style, but in ordinary modern English it is likely to appear incorrect.
