### Etymology

Said to be borrowed from Sanskrit, possibilities are:
* Sanskrit जिह्विका (jihvikā​), feminine of जिह्वक (jihvaka​, “tongue”), derived from जिह्वा (jihvā́, “tongue”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́iȷ́ʰwáH. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s and a possible doublet of lengguwahe. (Can this etymology be sourced?)
* Sanskrit वाक (vāka, “sounding; speaking; chattering; murmuring”) or Sanskrit वाक्य (vākya, “speech; saying; assertion; statement; command; words”), according to Juan Francisco (1963, 1973). Related to basa.
* Sanskrit विवेक (viveka, “consideration; discussion; investigation”), according to Pardo de Tavera (1887).
Compare also Malay beka.
