Description

simplewiki has wgContentLanguage "en" and
nowiki has wgContentLanguage "nb".

See wgLanguageCode in https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt

But
wb.sites.getSite( 'nowiki' ).getLanguageCode() evaluates to "no" and
wb.sites.getSite( 'simplewiki' ).getLanguageCode() evaluates to "simple".

JavaScript gets the values from the PHP function getLanguageCode() in module wikibase.sites:
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FWikibase.git/HEAD/lib%2Fincludes%2Fmodules%2FSitesModule.php

getLanguageCode() should evaluate to wgContentLanguage of the target wiki.

Note that if that will be the case then there would be no way to distinguish language of simplewiki from language of enwiki even though these have different sitelinks, but languages would both be "en". This may lead for some trouble for tools processing the content as they would not be able to distinguish if they're dealing with English or Simple English content. This may be undesirable.

The primary identifier to distinguish the content is ´simplewiki´ and ´enwiki´.
