No, it is not possible to literally have 'hair' on your tongue.
However, there is a condition commonly referred to as 'Black Hairy Tongue' because the tongue begins to look like it has hair or fur growing on it. This is due to bacterial colonies that can grow on the back of the tongue. You can also get "hair" on your tongue from "dipping" which is a form of chewing tobacco.
Usually, proper oral hygiene, including brushing the tongue with a toothbrush can eliminate the condition. For more information on this condition, click on the RELATED LINK below.

Why do humans have hair on their tongues?
Cats have hook-shaped bristles on their tongues. These are called papillae. These bristles are mostly used for grooming and eating. The roughness removes dead, loose skin, hair and any parasites in the fur when grooming, which is then swallowed and dissolved in the cat's stomach. These bristles also help with food. In the wild, cats use these bristles for holding down prey, or a chunk of flesh ready to be chewed into bite-sized pieces. Just as a cat's tongue can remove skin and hair from grooming, this can be used on prey that has long or thick hair.
