Hi,
Based on Erik's Indic Wiki stats, I did an analysis for reach of
Indic Wikipedias.
Wikis having at least 1000 views an hour and 1 Million population
were taken for this.
Page views per article per hour indicates the overall usefulness
of articles.
Page views per million speakers indicates the reach of Wiki and
also normalises the ranking by page view ( For example, Tamil has
roughly 1/8th of Hindi speaking population but has more than half
its traffic)
The results can be seen at

Malayalam and Tamil Wikis are performing comparably and have a
higher reach.
Hindi and Bengali which have a huge population seem to have lesser
reach.
I hope Indic Wikimedia strategy will consider such analyses and
focus to have a better return on their efforts and not mislead by
plain article count and page views.
Regards,
Ravi

I think for the above ranking, rather than the entire population,
the educated population should be taken, this will give us a better
picture.
