To worry that I've been pronouncing this word wrong?

[Lovestosing]

Tongue? How do you pronounce it? I am sat watching the football with my in laws, DH and DDs. DD2 said something about sticking her tongue out (DCs pronounce it "tung" like me) MIL corrected her and said it's pronounced "tong". I knew that was how DH pronounces it but I thought it was a regional variation, but now I'm worried I'm just wrong! Can anyone help settle this? DH and in laws are from Nottinghamshire and I'm from North Yorkshire if that helps!

Tong because it's got the letter O in it

I'm from Leicester

People like me from god’s own county pronounce it tung so you are saying it correctly - the others are wrong
