Your tongue is moist and salty, so it is a pretty good conductor. The tongue is the most sensitive part of the body.The current generated by a 9V battery will be pretty large, enough to tickle your nerves.
The finger is relatively dry. You can't taste with your finger, and it is not very sensitive. So you need a higher voltage to feel anything, and if you try that (not recommended) you will find that your muscles contract - a very different experience than the tongue experiment.

Because your tongue is wet.& your finger is dry so the wetness acts as a current activator.

the moisture on your tongue provides a path for the electric current and your tongue is very sensitive.

The extra water in your tongue makes it a better conductor.

I know this isn't answering your question, but I thought I would share with you this. My brother use to hold me down when I was about 5 or so, and force them in my mouth to shock me. Well okay, it wasn't a shock... but I was 5, I thought it was killing me.
