I have forearded this to IANA with two informative parenthetical 
additions. You may remember my complaint that � entities are 
not legible to humans. These subtag entries *are* intended to be 
legible to humans. The final sentence now reads:

Also known as: New Turkic Alphabet; Birlәşdirilmiş 
Jeni Tyrk Әlifbasь (Birlasdirilmis Jeni Tyrk alifbas'); 
Jaŋalif (Jangalif).

It is easy for someone who knows anything about Turkic and who sees 
this to guess that the "s" that corresponds to ş is s-cedilla. 
But otherwise ş is just incredibly annoying.
