Bay windows


Bay window is a common term for all protruding window constructions, regardless of whether they run over one or multiple storeys. They are usually polygonal or square in plan but they can be curved, in which case they can be called bow windows.

Oriel windows


An oriel or oriel window is similar to a bay window, except that it doesn't reach the ground. That means it needs underside supports as well as its own roof cover. The styling of the roof and the supports may vary from simple to extremely elaborate.

Picture window


A picture window is a large, plain fixed window set in a wall. It provides an unimpeded view, as if it was framing a picture.

==French windows

A few more to add, but for many window types the distinctions are moot in Minecraft because you can't model things on a fine enough scale to reflect the differences.
