Indian states have been making significant strides in promoting and developing regional languages. Among the state-confined languages, Tamil has emerged as a leader with over 1.5 lakh Wikipedia articles. Here are some key points highlighting Tamil's growth:

• As per Wiki Project India, Tamil has the maximum number of articles on Wikipedia among the state-confined languages.
• The Tamil Wikipedia community has been active since 2003 and has made efforts to increase the quantity and quality of Tamil articles over the years.
• The Tamil Nadu government has launched several initiatives to promote the language such as 'Tamil Maiyam' which aims to develop and propagate Tamil culture through media and various other forums.
• The state government has also introduced Tamil as a compulsory subject in schools up to class X and has launched a 'Tamil Virtual Academy' to teach the language online.
• Tamil literature and scripts have been given protection under the Tamil Nadu Heritage Commission, thereby promoting and preserving the culture of the language.
