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).

acid tastes sour and can only be tasted on the sides of your tongue
At the very start of the tongue or rather the taste buds that are directly opposite to the opening of the mouth.
Different regions of the tongue are sensitive to different tastes: sweet at the tip, sour at the sides, salty on the front sides, and bitter at the back. However, all taste buds can detect all flavors, and taste perception is a complex interaction that involves all regions of the tongue.
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.
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.
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.
