Konso language
Konso is a Lowland East Cushitic language spoken in southwest Ethiopia. Native speakers of Konso number about 200,000. Konso is closely related to Dirasha, and serves as a "trade language"—or lingua franca—beyond the area of the Konso people. Blench considers purported dialects Gato and Turo to be separate languages.
The Grammar of Konso was first described by Hellenthal, and later, in more detail, by Ongaye. The New Testament was published in the Konso language in 2002.Literature on the Konso language
