A girl who used to be in my school had a medical case where her tongue was more or less attached to the floor of her mouth. The membrane was either too short or too rigid. But the doctors made her have it surgically removed because she couldn't speak clearly otherwise. I guess it allows your tongue to move around your mouth properly.
Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition where the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is shorter than usual, restricting the tongue's range of motion. This can affect speech, feeding, and dental development in some cases. Treatment may include simple stretching exercises, surgical release, or therapy depending on the severity.
