If you have a sore under your tongue it's most likely a canker sore.
Canker sores almost always appear on the INSIDE of the mouth. They are basically ulcers in the mouth and can appear on the tongue, cheeks, gums, inside the lip, etc. They are painful and can take weeks to heal. The exact cause of canker sores is unknown but they can be caused by several different things like food allergies, braces, stress, accidentally biting your cheek or tongue, and many other things. Canker sores are VERY common.
Cold sores (oral herpes) almost always appear on the OUTSIDE of the mouth. They can appear on the outside of the lips and on the outside corners of the mouth. Cold sores ARE a form of herpes and ARE contagious. They can be spread by kissing someone who has them, sharing drinks, lip stick, chap stick, etc.
If you are concerned it is herpes then see your doctor and get tested. Cold sores are VERY common. It's estimated about 75 - 80% of the WORLD has them. Good luck!

Symptoms
Genital herpes symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. Most people never have any symptoms or ones that are so mild they may not recognize them, although some people develop painful and bothersome symptoms.
First-time (primary) outbreak
The primary outbreak of genital herpes tends to last longer and be more severe than subsequent (recurrent) outbreaks. Symptoms of a primary outbreak may include:
Flulike symptoms, such as fever, headache, and muscle aches. These symptoms usually get better within a week.
Tingling, burning, itching, and redness at the site where an outbreak is about to occur (prodrome).
Painful, itchy blisters on the penis, on the vulva, or inside the vagina. Blisters may also appear on the anus, buttocks, thighs, or scrotum, either alone or in clusters. They may be barely noticeable or as large as a coin.
Blisters that break and become shallow, painful, oozing sores.
Swollen and tender lymph nodes in the groin.
Painful urination.
Abnormal vaginal or urethral discharge.
Occasionally a person will experience symptoms months or even years after being infected, making it very difficult to identify the sex partner who was the source of the infection.
Recurrent outbreaks
Recurrent outbreaks of HSV cause painful blisters that rupture, become sores, and heal after 6 to 12 days. Symptoms of recurrent outbreaks are usually limited to genital blisters, sores, and swollen glands. The blisters are most painful during the first 24 hours after they appear. Most people do not have flulike symptoms with recurrent outbreaks. Recurrent outbreaks are usually less severe and do not last as long as primary outbreaks.
Symptoms of genital herpes infections in both primary and recurrent outbreaks tend to be more severe in women than in men.

Way to be reallyreallyreally vague...
But if you have a sore under your tongue, its most likely just a canker sore. Herpes is usually on your lips, or if it IS inside your mouth, will be on the hard part of your gums, or the roof of your mouth.
So no, you're fine.. unless it spreads to your lips :D
