This Daas pronounces it as Mahalla Nauva. Some Gurmukhs also pronounce it as Mahalla Naava. In both cases, there is a nasal sound on the ending Kanna.

Daas,
Kulbir Singh

also do you say muhala? or mehla?

We say Mahalla. One of the reasons why we do so is that in one of Bhai Sahib's books, the instructions are to say "Mahalla" and not "Mehla".

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Another perspective is provided in the preface of Guru Granth Darpan by Professor Sahib Singh on this topic.
