Yaks are called yaks because they are derived from the Tibetan word gyag which sounds like "yak" in the English language, and thus is a borrowed word for most languages for both sexes of this bovine-related species. Yak in Tibetan is a word for the male of this species, whereas the female is known as a dri or nak.
