This word has been hogging headlines for a long time now. The word is being pronounced as Tale-and-garner (the 't' being the soft French 't') in the major media. The correct pronunciation however is tell-and-garner (the 't' is the soft 't'). If you can read Hindi, then you must note that the 'na' sound is hard. So it reads as तॆलंगाणअ (the 'e' sound is short like in tell or bell).
So TelangaaNa reads as tell-and-garner or तॆलंगाणअ. If you can read Telugu, it would read as తెలంగాణ. In Tamil, it would read as தெலங்காண.
