It’s pretty interesting that Spain managed to hold on to its regional languages longer than France, Italy and U.K.
I created this map with QGIS, analyzing the data from the microdata file publicly available on the spanish institute of statistics INE’s website http://www.ine.es/dyngs/INEbase/es/operacion.htm?c=Estadistica_C&cid=1254736177092&menu=resultados&idp=1254735572981#
Inb4 debate whether it is called spanish or castillian.
“Only Spanish first language” doesn’t make sense. You can only have one *first* language.
I don’t believe it. The Spanish speak Spanish??!??!!?
I get the basque and the catalan, what’s the language used in the northwest ?
For anyone curious about the other languages from the same source, here it is the list

Also serves as a pretty accurate electricity outage map
During the Middle Ages, Arabic was more common in Andalusia and several major cities than Latin. Latin was slowly becoming vulgar Latin and then Spanish.
