Telangana () is a state in South India and one of the 29 states in India. It was formed on 2 June 2014 with the city of Hyderabad as its capital. Telangana is bordered by the states of Maharashtra to the north and North west Chhattisgarh, Karnataka to the west, and Andhra Pradesh to the east and south. As the twelfth largest state in India, Telangana has an area of , and a population of 35,286,757 (2011 census).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ap.gov.in/Other%20Docs/Population.pdf )〕 Its major cities include Hyderabad, Warangal, Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Ramagundam and Khammam. Telangana acquired its identity as the Telugu-speaking region of the princely state of Hyderabad, ruled by the Nizam of Hyderabad, joining the Union of India in 1948. In 1956, the Hyderabad state was dissolved as part of the linguistic reorganisation of states and Telangana was merged with former Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh. Following a popular movement for separation, it was awarded separate Statehood on 2 June 2014. Hyderabad will continue to serve as the joint capital city for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for a period of not more than ten years. == Etymology == The name Telangana is derived from the word ''Trilinga'', as in the ''Trilinga Desa'', which translates to "the country of the three lingas". According to a Hindu legend, Shiva descended in the lingam form on three mountains, Kaleshwaram, Srisailam and Draksharama, which marked the boundaries of the ''Trilingadesa'', later called ''Telinga'', ''Telunga'' or ''Telugu''.〔History of Kannada language: readership lectures, by R. Narasimhacharya〕 The word "Telinga" changed over time to "Telangana" and the name "Telangana" was designated to distinguish the predominantly Telugu-speaking region of the erstwhile Hyderabad State from its predominantly Marathi-speaking one, Marathwada. After Asaf Jahis sold and/or ceded the Seemandhra region to the British, the rest of the Telugu region retained the name Telinga and the other parts were called Madras Presidency's Circars and Ceded. 〔("India Today • An encyclopedia of life in the Republic" • Vol. 1. Arnold P. Kaminsky and Roger D. Long, editors. ) ‑ CLIO.〕 One of the earliest uses of a word similar to Telangana can also be seen in a name of Malik Maqbul (14th century CE), who was called the ''Tilangani'', which implies that he was from Tilangana. He was the commander of the Warangal Fort (''Kataka Pāludu'').〔Sri Marana Markandeya Puranamu, ed. G. V.
