tongue splitting

Oral bifurcation procedure

Tongue splitting is a body modification procedure in which the tongue is surgically divided down the center, creating a forked appearance resembling a snake's tongue.

The split typically extends one to two inches from the tip.

People who undergo the procedure can learn to move each half independently.

Also called tongue bifurcation.
