Tongue
The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth of a typical tetrapod. It manipulates food for mastication and swallowing as part of the digestive process, and is the primary organ of taste. The tongue's upper surface (dorsum) is covered by taste buds housed in numerous lingual papillae. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliva and is richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels. The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning the teeth. A major function of the tongue is the enabling of speech in humans and vocalization in other animals. The human tongue is divided into two parts, an oral part at the front and a pharyngeal part at the back. The left and right sides are also separated along most of its length by a vertical section of fibrous tissue (the lingual septum) that results in a groove, the median sulcus, on the tongue's surface. There are two groups of muscles of the tongue. The four intrinsic muscles alter the shape of the tongue and are not attached to bone. The f ...

Lingua (play)
''Lingua, or the Combat of the Tongue and the Five Senses for Superiority'' is an allegorical stage play of the first decade of the 17th century, generally attributed to the academic playwright Thomas Tomkis. Publication ''Lingua'' was entered into the Stationers' Register on 23 February 1607 (new style), and was published later that year in a quarto printed by George Eld for the bookseller Simon Waterson. The play proved to have unusual long-term popularity for an academic work, and was reprinted in 1610, 1617, 1622, 1632, and 1657. Its use of English rather than the more normal Latin gave ''Lingua'' a wider accessibility to a general audience than academic dramas of its era usually had. In 1613 ''Lingua'' was translated into a German version titled ''Speculum Aestheticum'', by Johannes Rhenanus; a Dutch translation followed in 1648, by Lambert van den Bosch. Date The date of the play's stage premiere is uncertain. The play's text itself contains a reference to the year 1602: "A ...
