Different areas of the human tongue have sensitivities to different tastes. Each of these areas contains proportionately more of certain chemoreceptors. Typically, the middle-front of the tongue is more sensitive to sweet tastes, the sides to salty tastes, the center-back to sour tastes, and the very back to bitter tastes.

What part of the tongue can detect sweet taste?
All of it. The 'tongue map' taught widely in schools, was meant to show which part of the tongue tasted what. According to the map, the tip of the tongue tastes sweet things while at the back tastes bitter things. The sides were for tasting salt and sour. This was based off German research published in 1901 but a person at Harvard University mistranslated it. The original research showed that the areas had relative sensitivity to the 'four basic tastes' while the mistranslated version showed that they could only be tasted in one zone.
How does your tongue detect sweetness?
Taste is detected by sensory receptors (chemoreceptors) in our taste buds, which cover the tongue but are also found in the soft palate of the mouth and the throat. The cranial nerves associated with taste are the glossopharyngeal (VII), facial (IX) and vagus (X) nerves. When the receptors in the taste buds are stimulated by food, impulses are sent along these nerves to the part of the brain where taste is perceived (in the parietal lobe) The area of the tongue which is thought to be most sensitive to sweet tastes is the tip.
