tounge or tongue

Tongue is a flexible muscular organ in the mouth that is used to move food around, for tasting and that is moved to various positions to modify the flow of air from the lungs in order to produce different sounds in speech.

"The tongue is a sensitive part of the body responsible for tasting."

Tounge is a misspelling of the actual word, tongue which is deemed incorrect and inappropriate in official writings and documentations.
