bifid tongue is also known as cleft tongue.it is a congenital defect i.e present since birth
cleft tongue is a cleft running either horizontally or vertically over the tongue (more often vertically) .
this cleft may either be complete or partial . in case of complete clefeting the tongue would be divided into two parts , thereby giving the characteristic bifid tongue
In case of partial clefting the tongue would only have a groove like depression thereby causing problems such as food lodgement.
