Some people may have a tongue that appears too big for their mouth due to a condition called macroglossia, which can be caused by genetics, inflammation, or certain medical conditions. It can lead to difficulties with speech, eating, and breathing, and may require medical intervention. If you are experiencing discomfort or symptoms related to the size of your tongue, it is best to consult a healthcare professional for an evaluation.

Where is the taste buds found?

The four basic kinds of tastes are: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of the tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of the tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of the tongue. The center of the tongue has few taste buds. Babies have more taste buds than older children and adults. Not only do babies have taste buds on the tongue, but also on the sides and roof of the mouth. Taste buds disappear from the sides and roof of the mouth as a baby gets older, leaving taste buds mostly on the tongue.

But the doctors made her have it surgically removed because she couldn't speak clearly otherwise. I guess it allows your tongue to move around your mouth properly.
