Another approach might be to use SKOS-XL instead of language tags like so:

:A1 a skosxl:Label;
rdfs:label “Ελληνική Δημοκρατία”@gr
skosxl:literalForm “Hellēnikē Dēmokratia”;
bf:romanizationRule <https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/oriya.pdf>;
.

It’s a little heavy, but a construct like this would tie the key pieces together. A custom language tag on the transliteration can’t tie in the native term.

It is less than ideal, yes, but it was the only one that was proposed as a variant subtag. And no one has proposed a way to tag anything else.

It doesn't help that romanisation tables lacked good versioning information, etc.
