In the back. Sweet is on the tip.
Four taste sensations: bitter (back of the tongue) sweet (tip of the tongue) salty (tip of the tongue) sour (sides of the tongue)
the tip 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.
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 sweet taste buds are at the tip of the tongue. the bitter at the very back. the sour and salty at the sides.
Tongue maps reveal that the tip of the tongue is the part that is the most sensitive to salty taste. However, recent research argues that tongue maps are not valid and that an individual's taste buds experience taste the same.

Where exactly are taste buds located?Taste buds are everywhere on the tongue. Some areas of the tongue have more taste buds than the others though.For example, the tip of the tongue tastes sweet things e.g. Chocolates. Just to the right and left of the tip are the salty taste buds. After the salty ones are the sour ones.At the very back of tongue, the tongue tastes the bitter things. The middle of the tongue has only a few taste buds.MEDICAL TERMINOLOGYTaste receptors are located on taste buds from the tongue called papillae. There are 4 types of papillae:1. Filiform2. Fungiform3. Foliate4. CircumvallateTaste buds are located only on the Fungiform, Foliate and Circumvallate papillae only!
The tip of your tongue can only taste sweet things, no others eg bitter, salty, sour.
