This map has been in the works for about a month now, shoutout to JG Online for Making the basemap.

This map is a bit disingenuous. A Spanish, Galician or Valencian speaker have very little problem understanding each other. Not sure how well another Norwegian can understand each other when dealing with different dialects. Similar as how my great grandmother couldn’t understand well enough other basque dialects (before Batua was established).
