What source are they using?
In Spain the indigenous languages are :
Spanish (45 M)
Catalan (10 M)
Galician (3 M)
Basque (0,6 M)
Asturian (0,1 M)
Aragonese (20,000)
Fala (5,000)
Gascon (4,000)
We might include Berber and Arabic as indigenous to Melilla and Ceuta, but that makes 10, not 14.
Unless they're counting non-spoken languages too. Then Spanish Sign Language, Catalan Sign Language and Silbo (Gomera whistled language) would be included. One missing yet. Maybe they added Gypsy caló to the whole, but gypsies only use some hundreds of words, they don't really speak any Romani any more. At least the indigenous ones.

In Brazil we've got all the indigenous languages spoken by the natives, plus European languages brought by immigrants that developed here, like Talian (Brazilian Venetian), Riograndenser Hunsrückish (Brazilian Hunrückisch) and Brazilian Pomeranian.
