Ultimately, it is attached by muscles. The tongue IS all muscle and the muscles attach to other muscles that then attach to bones. §

not attached to bones. its attached by small flap of skin underneath. tongue is much longer than u know. if this flap of skin is cut the tongue could be twice as long. but dont do it bc it would severely hurt

Most likely some sort of muscle or tendon... just a guess, I'm far from a doctor though.
