A taste bud can respond to any taste- some of them pick up one taste mor than another. Sour and salty flavors are detected most on the sides of the tongue.

The four basic tastes are bitter tastes, sweet/sugary tastes, salty tastes and sour tastesSweet, Salty, Sour and Bitter.
Different areas of the human tongue have sensitivities to different tastes. Each of these areas contains proportionately more of certain chemoreceptors. Typically, the middle-front of the tongue is more sensitive to sweet tastes, the sides to salty tastes, the center-back to sour tastes, and the very back to bitter tastes.

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.
The two front-most sides.
The four tastes detected on the tongue are: Salty, sweet, sour, and bitter.
The perception that different tastes are detected in specific regions of the tongue, such as saltiness on the tip, is a common misconception. Taste buds for all basic tastes are actually distributed all over the tongue, with some areas slightly more sensitive to certain tastes than others. Salt receptors are found all over the tongue, not just on the tip.

The five primary tastes that we can detect are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. These tastes are detected by taste receptors on the tongue that bind to specific chemicals in food.
