Sudhanwa,
Anecdotally speaking, active editors to Tamil Wikipedia come from India, Sri
Lanka, Canada, Australia, the US, and Europe.
Not many from Malaysia and Singapore as much as we would wish.
I agree that data analysis would help.

I think locationwise analysis will also be interesting to see in this case.
My guess is Hindi users will be primarily from India and US/CA/UK
whereas Tamil users will be from India, SriLanka, Singapore, Malasia
etc.

Hi All,
I just gathered the data for the Tamil Wikipedia:
* In August 2010, 807 people created a new user account on the Tamil
Wikipedia. That's an average of 26 new user accounts per day.
* Out of these 807 new user accounts, 82 have made an edit within the
first 10 days after account creation (about 10%).
* Between August 1 and 15, 30 new accounts have been used for editing
on the day of account creation -- that's 87%.
To compare these numbers to the other Wikipedia language versions, please
visit
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project
Starting in October, we will brainstorm ways to increase the number of
users who start contributing after they've created a user account. We
won't be able to do that without the support of the local communities.
So, if you're interested in the above project and would like to help,
please sign up as an ambassador for your language version:

Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks,
Frank
