I know Japanese Tolkien addicts from other sites and I know there are a number of Indian members here. Also Singaporeans .......
I can tell you there are some very active French LOTR (Seigneur des Anneaux) sites out there (haven't plucked up the courage to post ) and they are rather fond of Christopher Tolkien since he is " Francophile et francophone" and Adam Tolkien is gradually translating HoME in to French.
Other cultures may of course have a slightly different perspective on the books since they approach it fresh. One of my English teachers said it was quite an experience teaching Wuthering Heights in Africa. They saw great symbolism in the grass being green for example.....
