Frank has pointed out the differences already. For a German, it would be no problem to unterstand 'de-CH', but hard to nearly unimpossible to understand Schwyzerdütsch 'gsw'. (People speaking 'gsw' are subtitled on DE/AT/CH TV channel 3sat.)

Lower Sorbian 'dsb' and Upper Sorbian 'lsb' are Slavic languages (related to Czech and Polish). Their macrolanguage tag is 'wen'. No way of tagging them de-something.

Live long and prosper,
