'long-haired tibetan' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'cheerleader in for a chat' is the wordplay.
'cheerleader' becomes 'c' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'in for' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a chat' becomes 'yak' (I've seen this in another clue).
'c' inserted within 'yak' is 'YACK'.

'brings' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yack that I've seen before include "Talk incessantly" , "Natter" , "Prattle" .)
