A bionic tongue acts as a replacement for a removed tongue. It has 100% part efficiency, perfectly replacing but not exceeding the capabilities of a natural tongue.
Acquisition
They can be crafted at a fabrication bench for 8 plasteel and 2 
advanced components and are sometimes offered for sale by exotic traders and at Outlander bases. They require a crafting skill of 8.
Summary

Installing requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, and a Medical skill of 5.
Analysis
Body modders and transhumanists 
will be happier when using a bionic tongue. Among the core RimWorld artificial parts that don't have any downsides, bionic tongues require the fewest advanced components. With Royalty DLC, Venom fangs 
, knee spikes , and elbow blades can provide a similar benefit without requiring advanced components.
If Ideology DLC is installed, the biosculpter pod can be used to fix the tongue instead. Otherwise, only rare healer mech serums can fix it.
Replacing a missing tongue may not be necessary at all, however. While very important on any pawn that uses their talking stat (wardening, trading, taming), other pawns face a tradeoff. Without a tongue a pawn will:
- No longer initiate or responds to relationship requests
- Won't feel bad for being rebuffed or make others feel bad for rebuffing them
- Unable to become lovers or propose marriage to another pawn
- No longer engage in conversations
- Will not trigger social fights by insulting others
- If currently in a relationship, will be unable to gain higher opinion of their partner
- (to be checked): Unable to issue role commands
