Across the whole.
The 'tongue map' said it belonged in a specific area but it was a mistranslation.
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).

The tongue however does taste things that are: bitter, salty, sour and sweet.
there is actually no specific sections on the tongue regarding sour, bitter, sweet. These taste buds are scattered throughout your whole tongue. There are no receptors for chile/spicy, these are actually pain receptors. You test this on your own. Place a sour candy on any part of your tongue and you will taste sour.
acid tastes sour and can only be tasted on the sides of your tongue
i know for sure that each part of the human tongue can taste different things.. like the tip tastes Sweet sides taste sour, and the back taste bitterness. .(parts of the tongue)
At the very start of the tongue or rather the taste buds that are directly opposite to the opening of the mouth.
Bitter taste buds are found at the back of the tongue. Sweet/salty taste buds are in the front of the tongue, sour taste buds are on both sides whereas the middle of the tongue has very few taste buds at all.
Four taste sensations: bitter (back of the tongue) sweet (tip of the tongue) salty (tip of the tongue) sour (sides of the tongue)
Sour is a form of taste that is activated by acid and acidicly high foods. These have a low pH value, and the sour part of your tongue "tastes" the acid. But since it's an acid, it also burns your mouth, so that's why it irritates your tongue. It is fine in moderation, but not in overuse.
the taste buds detect the taste.
the sour taste buds are beside the sweet one.
