The Spoken Sanskrit website gives वङ्गालय bungalow but no other dicts. have that. Hindi "bangala" is bungalow and H. वङ्गालय is given as school. Is the Skt word a mistake ? Is school the correct H. वङ्गालय ? As Vanga became Bengal in 1200s , is वङ्गालय an ancient H. form originally meaning Bengali house?
