The LanguageUtil.isDuplicateLanguageCode() method is useful for deployments that have multiple flavors of the same language. For example, zh_CN and zh_TW are Chinese, but one is Chinese from China, and the other is Chinese from Taiwan.

This method is useful for websites that need to know whether the "Chinese" language they support is the only one supported, or if another flavor is also supported.

Some additional example are en_US vs. en_UK and pt_BR vs. pt_PT (English from the US / UK and Portuguese from Brazil / Portugal)
