Sharks have tongues, sort of, but they aren't called tongues - they're call basihyals. It is found on the floor of the mouth.

All sharks have "tongues". It is called a basihyal and is a small, stout, and only vaguely tongue-like piece of cartilage.

Sharks have "tongues", though they aren't much like ours. They aren't called tongues at all--they are called basihyals.
