World's Longest Tongue



World's Longest Tongue - Have you ever wondered who has the longest tongue in the world? That's why you're here right! According to the Guinness World Records, the current world recorder holder for the longest tongue is Stephen Taylor (UK). Mr. Taylor has a tongue that measures 9.5 cm (3.74 in) from the tip to the centre of his closed top lip. Details below:

Name: Stephen Taylor
Length: 9.5 cm (3.74 in)
Measured: Milan, Italy
Date of Record: January 5, 2006

The record holder for the longest tongue before Stephen Taylor was Annika Irmler. Annika still holds the longest tongue for a female at 7 centimetres (2.76 inches) Looking at these two pictures, it looks like Annika's tongue is longer, however, the difference between Annika's tongue and Stephen's is 2.5 centimeters or .98 inches. That's almost one full inch!
Name: Annika Irmler
Length: 7 cm (2.76 in)
Measured: Tangstedt, Hamburg Germany
Date of Record: 2001
In either case, our hats go off to these two. Growing a long tongue is not something that is easy to do!
