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.

It means your tongue tastes good...
The perception that different tastes are detected in specific regions of the tongue, such as saltiness on the tip, is a common misconception. Taste buds for all basic tastes are actually distributed all over the tongue, with some areas slightly more sensitive to certain tastes than others. Salt receptors are found all over the tongue, not just on the tip.
The tongue is the body part that can recognize the four basic tastes of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Taste buds located on the tongue detect these tastes, which are then sent to the brain for interpretation.
The human tongue has taste receptors that are specialized to detect different tastes - sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. These taste receptors are clustered in specific regions on the tongue, with each region being more sensitive to a specific taste. This specialization allows us to detect and differentiate between different tastes in our food.
The four basic tastes are bitter tastes, sweet/sugary tastes, salty tastes and sour tastesSweet, Salty, Sour and Bitter.
Research has show that the tongue actually doesn't have specific spots for taste. Originally it was thought the back of the tongue was exclusive to bitter tastes.
yes it is
Taste occurs over the whole surface of the tongue. Certain areas of the tongue may be more sensitive to one of the five tastes humans can register: sweet, bitter, salt, sour, and savory (like garlic).
That is right. Your tongue can identify only few tastes but nose can identfy hundreds of different types of smells.
Earlier it was believed that different parts of the tongue can taste different tastes. But now it has been proved by scientists that all parts of tongue can identify all tastes.
Yes, the tongue has specialized structures called taste buds that enable us to experience different tastes such as sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. These taste buds contain taste receptor cells that respond to specific chemical compounds in food. Additionally, the tongue has different regions that are more sensitive to certain tastes, although the idea of specific areas for each taste is a misconception; all taste modalities can be detected across the tongue.
