Well, they used to say the tip of the tongue tasted sweet things, the sides of it were for sour tastes & bitter stuff was tasted in the back. But then, they did more research & figured out that everything was tasted all over the tongue.

The human tongue can detect five basic taste components: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami.Taste buds are small structures on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, and epiglottis that provide information about the taste of food being eaten.
The human tongue has about 10,000 taste buds.

The idea of taste sensations religated to particular areas of the tongue and throat is an old mistake, it is now known that these taste sensations (sweet, sour, bitter and salty and now, savory) are felt equally all over the tongue and mouth.
