Sorry that I did not give you much information... there are too many languages in india.. even if I say, Tamil is spoken in Tamil nadu, that is the best I could say, but still could inform not much to others... so I have given up going too much detail, and leave that upto the interest of the interested reader... You have done a good job... all your findings are very correct...
