What language does bungalow originate from?

The word "bungalow" originates from Hindi, specifically from the word "bangla", which means "Bengali".

Here's the breakdown:

* Bangla: The language spoken in the Bengal region of India and Bangladesh.

* Bengali: People from the Bengal region.

* Bangla: A type of house common in Bengal.

The word "bungalow" was first used by British colonists in India to describe these traditional Bengali homes, which were typically single-story structures with verandas. Over time, the word became popularized in English and other languages to refer to similar types of homes, even outside of Bengal.
