i guess my first question is why would you want to know? I don't believe there is any precise way to weigh your tongue since connected to something else. On average they weigh less than a pound though.

Well, you can not accurately weigh your tongue because it is inside your mouth. But scientifically, it has been proven that a tongue weighs about 60 to 70 grams depending on gender.

There probably is no good way to measure your tongue, maybe you could use a food scale or something similar like that.
