Another approach might be to use SKOS-XL instead of language tags like so:
:A1 a skosxl:Label;rdfs:label “Ελληνική Δημοκρατία”@grskosxl: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.
