Questions

How many Tamil-speaking lawyers are there in India?
We list 27, in 6 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Chennai, with 12 of the 27.
Is Tamil unusual for lawyers in India?
26% of the 103 lawyers we hold in India are recorded as working in Tamil. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
