	My grammar say "diye" is a conjunction, but in usage, I see it used like a verb.
 "diyecak",   "Ne diyorsonuz".  Is it related to "demek".
 
 Ne diyorsonuz.

	"Ne diyorsunuz?"
 It is related to "demek". Only "demek" and "yemek" verbs' vowels change in present tense.
 
 de(mek) + (i)yor = diyor
 
 ye(mek) + (i)yor = yiyor
 
 (demek=to say, yemek=to eat)

 I remember this form:
 
 Annesi gelmeyecek diye gitti.
 Because his mother wouldn't come, he went.
 
 It says the reason before the word "diye"
 
 Another form:
 Ne yapıyorsun diye kızdı.
 He became angry by saying "What are you doing".
 
 It says what he said, and maybe the relation of getting angry.

	* Diye is a conjunction used for direct speech and quotations.
 When expressing direct speech you don't have to use it when using the verb 'demek', but you do with any other verb. I hope the examples below make it clearer.
 
 Annesi, hemen buraya gel dedi
 His mother said: 'Come here immediately.'
 
 ama
 
 Annesi, hemen buraya gel diye çağırdı
 His mother shouted: 'Come here immediately!'
 
 Here we use the verb 'çağırmak', so you have to put diye before it to express the direct speech. Same with verbs like söylemek, düşÃ¼nmek, konuşmak, sormak...
 
 More examples:
 
 Bursa nerede diye sordu (<=> Bursa nerede dedi)
 Acıktım diye söyledi (<=> Acıktım dedi)
 Eve gitmem lazım diye düşÃ¼ndü (<=> Eve gitmem lazım dedi)
 
 'Quotation' example:
 Dur diye bir levhanın önünde durmak gerek - You have to stop in front of a stop sign.
 Bahar diye bir kız aradı - A girl called Bahar phoned.
 
 * Diye + use of the optative tense is also used to give a meaning of 'so that/in order that'
 
 Ex: Bunu iyi bilesin diye tekrarlayacağım - I will repeat this so that you will know it well.
 
 
 Hope this helps.

 I think, this example doesn't make sense. I mean construction of the sentence is wrong, and for that reason, it is not related to this topic.
 
 This can be ok:
 "Dur yazılı bir levhanın önünde durmak gerek"

 Oh God.. :-S It's an example I took from my course. It's not the first time people said that some things I took from there are wrong
   Maybe I should just use it to light the barbecue

 Yours is not the true form of the former suggestion, but is just identical to "You have to stop in front of the sign Stop."
 
 A suggestion related to the topic would be "...diye yazılı...".
 
 Dur diye yazılı bir levhanın önünde durmak gerek.
 You have to stop in front of a stop sign.
 
 ...Köşeyi dön, sonra Dur diye yazılı bir levha göreceksin....
 ...Turn the corner, then you will see a stop sign....(lit. a sign on which is written Stop)
