My diagram is just an attempt at a neater version of OPs. The only languages in the containers are the colored ones. Draw.io doesn't let you stop ungrouped nodes from overlapping containers.

Ah, I see, that explains a lot. You could make your version of the diagram even more "neat" by moving the Ingvaeonic part all the way to the right and switching "Central Germanic > Others" and Luxembourgish around, so all the green boxes would be right next to eachother.
