In a nutshell: The Ethnologue treats Valencian as a dialect of Catalan, which
is correct based on the mutual intelligibility criterion, but they have distinct
orthographies. Unfortunately, the two are in the same country, so the 3166
trick (en-us vs. en-gb, e.g.) doesn't work. (If Valenciana has a 3166-2
regional code, we could do something there, perhaps.)
