The vagus nerve is not directly associated with the tongue, but it does innervate muscles involved in swallowing, which involves the movement of the tongue. The other three options (glossopharyngeal, hypoglossal, and trigeminal) are all directly associated with different aspects of tongue function, such as taste sensation, motor control, and sensation of touch and temperature.
