please check these sentences.

1b00102b00: 01b00Which village do you belong 01i00to02i00?02b02br
02br
01b00202b00: 01b01i00To 02i00which village do you belong?02b02br
02br
00I think according to English speakers sentence 1 will be correct. Is sentence 2 wrong? If it is then I think it is because of putting 01i00to02i00 at the start of sentence. But why can't we use 01i00to02i00 at the start? There are many other sentences of this type.0-
