A bungalow (, ) is a type of single-storey house that originated in India. The word derives from the Gujarati word ba?glo, which in turn came from Hindustani ba?gl?. It means "Bengali", used elliptically for a "house in the Bengal style".Online Etymology Dictionary Such houses were traditionally small, only one story, thatched and had a wide veranda.Bartleby.com Bungalows today are a type of house that is usually single story or one and a half stories, and can be quite large.
In India and Pakistan, the term bungalow refers to any single-family unit (i.e., a house), as opposed to an apartment building, which is the norm for Indian and Pakistani middle-class city living. The Indian sub-continent usage is different from the North American usage insofar as a bungalow can be a quite large, multi-storied building which houses a single extended family. In India and Pakistan, owning a bungalow is a highly significant status symbol.
In Singapore and Malaysia, the term bungalow was originally made popular by the British who popularized this building typology ( though the British use of Bungalow strictly refers to single-story houses ). It is now used to refer to a detached, single family residential dwelling usually of two to three story with its own compound.
In South Africa, the term bungalow never refers to a residential house but means a small holiday house, a small log house or a wooden beach house.
