Severed tongue

A severed tongue is when an individual's tongue is forcibly removed from their body. Severed body parts of any kind are always a staple of horror fiction and the tongue is no exception. In fictional accounts of Ancient Egypt, the removal of one's tongue was a common means of torture and/or punishment prior to the administering of the ritual of mummification.
