The East Indian dialects, which are
responsible for such words as "amuck,
assassin, ''pajama" and number OF
others, are also responsible for the intro
duction of the word bungalow into
English though, like its half-brothers,
this word has been slightly maltreated in
its adaptation.
In Elliott's History of India as Told
