Vak (Samskrit: वाक्) means speech. The Brhadaranyaka Upanishad has equated speech with Brahman.
वाग्वै सम्राट्परमं ब्रह्म । (Brhd. Upan. 4.1.2)[1]
In Rigveda (also in Atharvaveda, Taittriya Aranyaka and Shatapatha Brahmana) we come across the four fold division of Vak (वाक्) an important aspect of Vyakarana.[2]
चत्वारि वाक्परिमिता पदानि तानि विदुर्ब्राह्मणा ये मनीषिणः ।
गुहा त्रीणि निहिता नेङ्गयन्ति तुरीयं वाचो मनुष्या वदन्ति ॥४५॥ (Rig. Veda. 1.164.45)
