Hi, ZT or "Star sky" or "Persia Business",

May I ask, what is your mother tongue? Also, what is you interest in
Konya, and how did you first hear about it?

Perhaps you already know that Konya is a "conlang", or "constructed
language", ie an artificial creation of people who enjoy the study of
language and linguistic change. Thus, it is unlikely to offer very
much business advantage in the real world! ;-) At least, not yet.

The intended use of Konya is as an International Auxiliary Language
or IAL. That is, its inventors hope that people from all over the
world will find that Konya makes it easier to talk together, even
though their mother tongues may differ.

Konya is a work-in-progress, and much more work needs to be done
before it can serve this purpose fully. We invite you to help do
this work, in any way possible. For example, you might simply
ask "How do I say the following in Konya?" and give us some sentences
in English (or possibly in another language, if any of us speak it)
that you'd like to be able to create in Konya.

If you'd still like to learn more about Konya, why not first visit
the website http://ca.geocities.com/handydad/konya/konya-main.html to
get started. If you have more specific questions, please feel free
to ask them here.

Regards,
Yahya
