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.
