The name "sámegiella" just means "Sami"; there are many Sami languages, of which Northern Sami is the biggest. A couple of the other languages also have "sámegiella" in their name, so to avoid confusion this should be renamed to the more specific "davvisámegiella". The code [se] only covers Northern Sami.

Note: The name "davvisámegiella" is what's used for the language in CLDR, and it's also used by such institutions as the Norwegian Sami Parliament (as "davvisámegillii", a conjugated form), the Swedish Sami Parliament (same conjugated form), Yr.no and the Northern Sami Wikipedia's own article on the language.
