Is speak sternly to speak sharply?

Yes, this could be the case. To speak sternly may easily be to speak sharply.Either form may be used, and the usage will depend on the application. Some example sentences might help. Here they are:The manager would speak sternly to her empolyees to get them back on track.The boy knew his dad would speak sharply to him about not doing his chores.You can put either word in the place of the other in either example sentence and still be correct. Look at this sentence:A drill instructor will always speak sharply to new recruits to get them used to jumping when ordered to.Consider that a DI (drill instructor) usually barks his orders (speaks them sharply) in order to get his troops moving quickly and in the right direction. It may not be as effective to use the word sternly in place of sharply in that sentence. Your style and sense of what you wish to say (as well as proper form) will determine your word choice.
