- Another source puts the Tamil population in Malaysia at 1,060,000.[3]
- The Times of India gives Myanmar's Tamil population as 10 lakh (1,000,000) as of 2018. The Union of Catholic Asian News and La Croix International state that Tamil people comprise about 2 percent of Myanmar's population of 51 million as of 2018. This is contradicted by other sources. Sivasupramaniam states that Burma had a Tamil population of 200,000 once but this had reduced after the end of World War II.[3] Tamil Nation states that Burma had a Tamil population of 200,000 as of 1966.[5] Tamil Catholics are estimated to number about 50,000.[6]
- Resident Indian Tamil population. Another source puts the Tamil population in Singapore at 200,000. Note: The Singapore Tamil population data provided by the Singapore government excludes Tamils who were unable to speak, and those in one-person households and households comprising only unrelated persons. The figure for the 'percentage of Tamils' is based on the number of ethnic Tamils among the resident population of Singapore, ignoring the foreign workers.[3]
- Tamil, Tamil Hindu, and Christian Tamil. Another source puts the Tamil population in Mauritius at 115,000.[3]
