India and SW Asia, where "paijama" are loose, lightweight trousers secured with a drawstring. The English spelling replaced the "ai" sound with a "y", while the American spelling simply dropped the "i" (pajamas). The plural form is used (as in "pants") except when used as an adjective to describe tops or bottoms. In Europe, the US, and Australia, pyjamas/pajamas refers almost exclusively to sleepwear.
