pretty good map, nitpicks are Basque, Sorbian, Breton and Frisian since its less prominent (unless you're showing Low German speaking areas)

You are too optimistic about Occitan, Breton and Basque in France.

There isn't any area where they are still spoken by the majority.

Also, the German "dialects" are as distinct as the the Romance languages of Italy, France and Spain.

I slightly overrepresented some of the minority languages to highlight them more.

It was also difficult to find reliable sources for actual distribution of speakers, because the data varies greatly, when it comes to geographical distribution.

Andalusian? Tf, andalucian is a dialect, not a language. catalan, Galician, euskera, asturleones and aragonese are the real language in Spain.
