"Official" in India need not mean "official" in the other countries in which it is spoken, as a closer read of the article on the language should indicate. Besides, we already have separate language codes for a particular language and the scripts in which it is written, including the "default" (such as kk and kk-arab, kk-cyrl, kk-latn, or iu and ike-cans, ike-latn, and similarly for ks, ku, tg, and ug) so I don't see a problem with continuing this trend in the interest of preventing ambiguity. If I understand correctly, Ol Chiki is used as the default script for anything Santali (in Wikimedia projects). So if we add `sat-olck` we will essentially have two different language codes (`sat` and `sat-olck`) that cover the exact same thing. The rest make sense since they're different from the default, but as long as there is a default script for a language (in our context), it doesn't make sense to me to add the language code with the script specified.
