This is the flag of the autonomous republic established in 1919 or
20 but adopted near 1926.

Bashkiria is an autonomy of RSFSR since 1919.
(In 1920ths many autonomous republics in RSFSR
did not use the word "autonomous" in their names. But they were really autonomous
(not independent, not “full status republics”). These republics until 1930ths
used the names SSR. Later, the “standard form” of the state name was introduced:
ASSR for autonomies, SSR for “full republics”.)

This flag was adopted in 1937.

In 1937, when new flag was adopted, the bashkirian language used
latin alphabet (not cyrillic).
Victor Lomantsov, 21 Oct 2000
I suppose the underscored "S" is a specific diacritical of the bashkirian
latin alphabet, not a surogate for something else (a cedilla, like in turkish,
perhaps?).
António Martins, 24 Oct 2000
The bashkir orthography was recoded into the
cyrillic alphabet in 1940
(according to З. Г. Ураксин:
Русско-Башкирский
Разговорник.
Уфа, 1984:
Баш-ское
Книжное
Издательство)
— therefore the new flag, with cyrillic
inscriptions, should date from this time.

The cyrillic letter "k" in bashkirian language is not identical to russian one — actually, the Bashkirian language has two "k"s:
Flag of Bashkirian ASSR since 1954 or 1956 to 1992 (flag regulations
adopted in 1956).
Before the 1970ths the name of the state in baskirian language
was "BASHKORTOSTAN ASSR".
Victor Lomantsov, 21 Oct 2000
After the 1970ths the name was "BASHKORT ASSR-y" (in
cyrillic) and in 1954-≅1970 with "BASHKORTOSTAN ASSR".
1970 is a very approximate date. I saw the name "BASHKORTOSTAN
ASSR" on books published in 1942 and 1947, and the name
"BASHKORT ASSR-y" in 1972… What name was in ≅1946-1972
is a big mystery for me. I don’t know about flags in that period.
