University of Chicago's digital dictionaries of South Asia[1] has many dictionaries which are CC licensed (licenses vary per dictionary source). Tamil Wiktionary uses the University of Madras'  Tamil lexicon[2] which is under CC as a key reference. We are exploring options to import Tamil lexicon into tawikt, so that they can be worked upon and more importantly end users get these results easily while doing a search from search engine.
