I'm sorry right now aspell is only able to spell one language at one time. 
The only exception is if your document would contain two different flavours 
better dialects of tamil. In this case you could load both dictionaries as if 
they would be one.

In future it might be that aspell will be able to spell both languages. the 
difficulty is how to detect which language the word belongs to and how to 
handle sugestions. Eg.: a word may be properly spelled in one language and 
improperly in the other. So which to pick. 
[   ] Assume properly spelled and risk that it is used as a word from the 
other language.
[   ] Assume improperly and risk that it is from the first language

If the parts of your document(s) containing tamil are clearly separable by the 
english ones by some tag 
  <begin tamil> .........<endtamil>
  "[...]   bla bla bla bla bla [...]"

or so you could do your task in two steps if you go and get aspell 0.60-pre2 .
You than use the context filter to hide the tamil part from aspell when 
checking english spelling and to hide the english part when checking tamil.

Hope that's not the case with the above.
