Well, they seem different enough that they got distinct language codes
assigned. Note that dialects do not get language codes assigned. It
isn't a problem to use the 'sc' code for UI l10n, I just wanted to point
out that maybe a specific language is to be used.
Do we need the separate codes for text language attribution or locale
data? In other words: would spell-checking or e.g. day or month names
differ between those languages?
