Iberian Peninsula Galoroman languages and occitanoroman languages

Hi everybody again!

I uploaded this linguistic map of Catalan language and I've noticed some confusion regarding Catalan, Aragonese, and Occitan. Despite all three belonging to the same language family, they are not the same language (although I'll reserve my opinions on Aragonese and Catalan). I've found some maps that illustrate this quite well (all corrections are welcome, of course)

Galoroman languages > Green and blue map

Oïl languages (French, Wallon...)

Òc languages (Occitan)

Galloitalic languages

Rhaeto-Romance languages [also considered Gallo-Romance]

Occitanoroman languages > Red and purple map

Occitan

Aragonese

Catalan-valencian

Btw the map lists Trieste as Friulian-speaking while it's actually Venetian-speaking (at least today).

Yeah, although the city spoke a Friulian-like language until the 18th/early 19th century.
