The tongue has many functions. These include:

- Digestion (taste, saliva, aid chewing by movement of food to the back of the throat)

- Communication (speech)

- Kissing

The tongue is a very strong muscle. In fact, it's the strongest muscle in the human body. It helps you speak (pronounce letters clearly), and also helps you eat.
Your tongue is used in the various forms of articulation, such as whistle, speech, singing and so on.

It is also (and its native purpose) is to manipulate food in the mouth.

We may also taste and touch things with our tongue.

It is of minor use in removing debris from the teeth.
