'''Nāga''' ({{lang-sa|[[:wikt:नाग#Sanskrit|नाग]], [[IAST]]: ''nāgá''}}, {{lang-my|နဂါး}}, {{IPA-my|nəɡá|IPA}}; [[Javanese language|Javanese]]: ''någå'', [[Khmer language|Khmer]]: នាគ ''neak'', {{lang-th|นาค}} {{lang|th-Latn|''nak''}}, {{lang-zh|那伽}}, [[Tibetan language|Tibetan]]: ཀླུ་) is the [[Sanskrit]] and [[Pāli]] word for a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very great [[snake]]—specifically the [[King Cobra]], found in [[Hinduism]] and [[Buddhism]]. The use of the term '''nāga''' is often ambiguous, as the word may also refer, in similar contexts, to one of several human tribes known as or nicknamed "Nāgas"; to elephants; and to ordinary snakes, particularly the King Cobra and the [[Indian Cobra]], the latter of which is still called '''nāg''' in [[Hindi]] and other languages of India. A female nāga is a '''nāgī''' or '''nāginī'''.
