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

My guess is Hindi users will be primarily from India and US/CA/UK
whereas Tamil users will be from India, SriLanka, Singapore, Malasia

some premium features etc., The biggest barrier to increasing contribution
to Wikipedia is that
