In which one of the following countries, is Tamil a major language?
- AMyanmar
- BIndonesia
- CMauritius
- DSingaporeCorrect
Explanation
Tamil is one of the four official languages of Singapore, alongside English, Mandarin, and Malay. It is used in government administration, education, and national media. While there are Tamil-speaking populations in Myanmar, Indonesia, and Mauritius due to historical migration, Tamil does not hold the same official or major constitutional status in those countries as it does in Singapore. Therefore, Singapore is the correct answer.
