Best Answer

Historically Tamil people lived all over India, they form the Dravidian race. They are said to be the people of Indus valley civilization. One theory suggests that, invading people of Aryan race from Central Asia pushed the Tamil people south of Indian subcontinent where they settled permanently.

Now Tamil People live all over the world. The main concentration of population is in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, Reunion Islands, Myanmar (Burma), South Africa, Fiji, Caribbean and East Africa.

Tamil people are primarily from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the northern and eastern regions of Sri Lanka. Tamil communities can also be found in other parts of India and across the world due to migration and diaspora.
